[00:01] join/#podnutz [00:01] It's not my netowrk, I can still get to google. Hm. [00:01] Murple: Hard for me to say. Sucks, I know. [00:01] BigNerd: /join [00:01] Thanks [00:01] Murple: What were you running, what did you upgrade to? [00:02] Murple: lsmod , you see some modules for wireless? [00:02] wm.. [00:02] puff: I've tested linux several times throughout the years, I finally felt like this version was somehting I could actually use but not being connected to the internet (or even the computer right beside) is a monumental setback. [00:02] hey do i activate my NVIDIA drivers? [00:02] or rather... should i? [00:02] hey guys? [00:03] how do i locate my remote desktop app? [00:03] Bane99 ofc u should [00:03] it says it's installed, but it's not in the menu [00:03] Hello good evening, friends can help me with an error in emerald? [00:03] moneyisdust: I tried that, but it's difficult to say since I'm not quite sure what to look for. I see firewire, video card, iSight, bluetooth, usb stuff. I can't see anything wireless/broadcom related, but I may be overlooking it. [00:03] emerald - replace [00:03] Fault segmentation [00:03] Murple: Yeah, unfortunately I'm not familiar iwth mac hardware. [00:03] Bane99: If you're using nvidia, DEFINITELY [00:03] lshw [00:04] Maninho: emerald isn't supported here or by its developers and is broken in 11.04. [00:04] !emerald [00:04] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [00:04] Bane99: it's a lot better. [00:04] Murple: Huh, googled "imac ubuntu" and the fourth autocomplete option was "imac ubuntu wireless" [00:04] RWW, but use the summer 11:04 [00:04] Murple: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Intel_iMac [00:04] Maninho: what? [00:04] puff: Yeah... I found this article which I thought would help, but alas it didn'.t: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [00:04] RWW that boring [00:04] ok [00:04] hello [00:04] taking a day and a half to install :P [00:04] RWW, there is another window decorator? [00:04] from the hardward drivers window [00:04] haha [00:05] holy crap im amazed i finally got this to work!! [00:05] Maninho: as ubottu said, " There are no known, supported alternatives." [00:05] i have a question [00:05] RWW, I [00:05] RWW, thanks [00:06] Murple: I wonder if there's an ubuntu-on-mac channel or forum that might help. [00:06] i updated my OS recently [00:06] Murple: This is almost certainly some funky compatibility issue wtih the mac hardware, and the best bet for that is somebody who's run into the problem before. [00:06] Is ubuntu good on mac? [00:06] and after the update pictures on mozilla have weird colors [00:06] * Batshua beats head against the nearest wall [00:06] generally? [00:06] I know it's installed! [00:06] It says so! [00:06] Murple: I have multiple friends who have run debian or ubuntu on their macbooks, so it's not unprecedented. [00:06] hello [00:06] How do I find/invoke/whatever remote desktop? [00:06] Linux noob. I'm connected to the net (wired), but whenever I try to install something from the Software Center it says "Failed to download package files - Check your Internet Connection" [00:07] can a pro nerd please pm me i need help [00:07] lol [00:07] Chiawalla: Is your router working fine with other stuff? [00:07] router is fine [00:07] erkum: You're not going to get pm help, only public help, sorry. [00:07] Chiawalla: are you on the computer now ? [00:07] I'm browsing the web on it anyways [00:07] yes, its next to me [00:07] Ah, that's bizarre. [00:07] Hrm. [00:07] Chiawalla: have you tried using apt-get fromt he command line [00:07] Chiawalla: ok - so it's connected to the net [00:07] ok thanks, this is just confusing [00:07] the [00:07] puff moneyisdust : sudo lshw shows *.network UNCLAIMED. Network controller. product: BCM4311 802.11a/b/g vendor Broadcome etc.. [00:07] erkum, if you run this command in a terminal what is the video card? [00:08] erkum: I know, stick with it... [00:08] yes, its connected to the net [00:08] It /could/ still be the router. I had ONLY http die on me once. [00:08] Chiawalla: can you please open a terminal (do you know how to do that) and type "sudo apt-get update" please [00:08] websites are working [00:08] erkum, lspci | grep VGA [00:08] ok 1 sec [00:08] nit-wit: which command? [00:08] and I was on IRC begging for help and everyone was like NOPASTE, and I was like, NO HTTP [00:08] so maybe you're having the reverse? [00:08] how do I open a terminal in ubuntu? [00:08] not used to the new interface [00:08] if you haven't tried rebooting the router, I'd try it [00:08] Chiawalla: it should be under "accessories" [00:08] ERKUTHERE NOW ABOVE YOUR LAST [00:08] What version are you using? [00:08] press win key and start typing terminal [00:09] nit-wit: i see now one sec [00:09] Murple: did you try to run a live cd of 11.04 and see if you have wireless? [00:09] erkum, sorry caplock got hit.;( [00:09] ok I opened terminal [00:09] I'm on the new one [00:09] 11.04 [00:09] Chiawalla: ok, so "sudo apt-get update" [00:09] hi [00:09] I swear wasn't shouting.;) [00:09] its done now [00:09] rww: re: install from thumb drive, will I need to clear the drive? [00:10] how can i open a text file and when it open, it goes directly to the bottom ? [00:10] Chiawalla: did that work without problem ? [00:10] moneyisdust: Well not exactly, but i installed off a LiveCD which was about a month old. On that version WIFI worked fine. After upgrading to the most recent version it stopped working. [00:10] oh cool, now the software center install is working [00:10] puff: Depends on what mood the startup disk creator is in. It can do it for you if it wants to clear it, though. [00:10] thank you ikonia and Batshua :-) [00:10] great [00:10] moneyisdust: I'm curious as to why lshw shows "*-network UNCLAIMED". What does that mean? [00:11] now, how do I get the wireless to work [00:11] I just installed an app called "Wifi Radar" [00:11] !wireless | Chiawalla [00:11] Chiawalla: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:11] Chiawalla: That's what I've been trying to fix the last few hours... === kcs10dc is now known as kcs05dc [00:11] I've got the driver installed [00:11] it installed it when I installed Ubuntu [00:12] Murple: i dont know,.... but you should burn the 11.04 to see if the live cd work, otherwise take your 10.10 live cd and see which module are loaded [00:12] Broadcom 43xx [00:12] my /etc/apt/sources.list is messed up.. How can i restore it? [00:12] It worked in previous xubuntu and ubuntu [00:12] Hello, I'm suffering from a VPN Problem on 10.x ubuntu and googling has led me to no results. I have my VPN setup for MSChapv2 and all appears well; this is the error: http://pastebin.com/ZUNthqLb [00:12] Anyone know where my remote desktop server might be hiding? [00:12] nit-wit: now what do i do? i think i may have done it? [00:12] moneyisdust: Alright. Well thatnks so much for your help. [00:12] Murple: take a look to dmesg , can help as well [00:12] I got alot of failed to fetch errors... [00:12] Chiawalla: You and I are having the exact same problem. [00:12] I've tried setting all-users and only this user to use VPN as well [00:12] I don't even see the option to see wireless networks [00:12] awesome Murple, lets work through this [00:13] erkum, the command just identifies the card post it. [00:13] Chiawalla 's wifi worked before upgrading to the latest version. I have Broadcom 4311. [00:13] Anyone have experience with using ssh -D as a web proxy? Both the server and the client are ubuntu machines. When I change the client's firefox to use the ssh prox I just get a blank white screen on every site. [00:13] I have broadcom corporation BCM4311 802.11 a/b/g (rev 01) [00:13] guess we're the same Murple [00:13] that's the one, not sure about rev 01 though. [00:13] I doubt it matters [00:13] Chiawalla, rthe link the bot gave you wil give you informay=tion try reading it.;) [00:14] This link looked promising to me but didn't help in the end: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [00:14] ! who | Chiawalla Murple [00:14] Chiawalla Murple: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:14] Murple, I'll read the article, can you monitor the chan and message me if I miss anything Important? [00:15] Chiawalla: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-troubleshoot-wireless-network-connection-in-ubuntu.html If your network device comes back UNCLAIMED or there is no driver listed, then you have not correctly installed the driver for your device. You must review the procedures for installation of your wireless driver. [00:15] nit-wit: sorry im slow haha. i think this is it? [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics] [00:16] Chiawalla: When running lshw, my wifi card is listed as network UNCLAIMED so it seems to be a driver related problem, which I think i knew already. [00:17] hi, I formatted an ext3 partition on my PC with GParted, and after that GParted doesn't detect any partitions at all in my disk (/dev/sda)... fdisk -l show the partitions there... any idea of why GParted doesn't show up anything?? [00:17] Please, how can I fix my sources.list??? when i run apt-get update I get alot of errors!!! [00:18] moneyisdust: dmesg was very confusing, but i couldn't spot anything relevant. [00:18] bael56: copy the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ , link the page it creates here [00:18] moneyisdust: Just thought i'd let you know... [00:18] :) [00:19] Murple: Chiawalla did you try these instructions? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10758325&postcount=25 [00:20] you should probably read up and see if those folks had your same problem, tho [00:21] PalinBachman2012: That looks promising. Altough I believe I need STA instead of b43 (I have no idea what that is but my network card is listed under STA on this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx) [00:22] rww: Startup Disk Creator is nice, but the "erase disk" option should be more helpful about jstu *whcih* disk you're erasing... [00:23] also, make sure wifi switch is enabled in windows, sometimes that causes probs [00:23] i want to shutdown X, and get a shell. How do I do this? [00:24] Hello everyone! I am sure you get this a lot, but I have a problem with Ubunu 11.04... === ubuntu is now known as equs [00:24] PalinBachman2012: What do you mean by enable in windows? [00:24] where does Network Manager hide the config file? [00:25] keegers: I think it's standard procedure to just ask instead of asking to ask, the channel probably has rules/suggestions for that sort of thing. [00:25] I just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 now the computer feezes at the login screen [00:25] keegers: Then you're worse off than I am :) [00:26] Well by login screen I mean the lovely purple screen before I can login... [00:26] Thats no goo Murple [00:26] I am running ubuntu server, i am trying to install ubuntu-desktop but i get alot of failed to fetch errors.. any suggestions????? [00:26] *good [00:26] Murple: i mean the function keys that turn wifi on and off and perhaps even the hardware switch can sometimes only be enabled from windows [00:26] how do I *stop* x11, leaving a shell? [00:27] a windows install [00:27] ctl+alt+f1, takes me to a shell but i see xorg still running [00:27] I am running apcupsd 3.14.8, everything is working. Would like to know how can I shutdown other linux hosts connected on the network attached to the same UPS? [00:27] Kardos, sudo stop gdm [00:27] what is the command to display CPU id and information? [00:27] So, I'm installing ubuntu on the new machine, which has a 500GB drive. Historically I have been a bit gunshy of LVM, mainly because I *like* having my stuff on separate physical partitions. What are people's opinions about this today? [00:27] Murple: but you will get an error to that effect [00:27] Karen_m, rather, sudo stop gdm [00:27] sometimes :) [00:27] I am running ubuntu server, i am trying to install ubuntu-desktop but i get alot of failed to fetch errors.. any suggestions????? [00:27] but i dont wanna do that [00:27] :) [00:28] puff, LVM is awesome... I wrote a wiki entry about it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lvm [00:28] bael56: Fix your connectivity? [00:28] psusi, thank you! [00:28] yay [00:28] PalinBachman2012: I see... no hardware switch on iMac and only Ubuntu OS. [00:28] good [00:28] psusi, is your ppa up to oneiric yet [00:28] yay, brave ones I have returned ;-) [00:28] where does Network Manager hide the config file? [00:28] Corey, it works.. I can ping and everything.. [00:28] nit-wit, nope... what specifically are you looking for? [00:28] bael56 change ubuntu mirrors, my local mirros always have problems, the main server always work for me [00:29] psusi, I was using the boot load script [00:29] I need the terminal command to display CPU id and information [00:29] Murple: i only mentioned it cause i had to boot into win and enable wifi function keys once, and turn on the hardware switch, even to use a dongle [00:29] does anyone know how to reset my dual screen display settings without the second screen being plugged in because when i plug it in both screens go black [00:29] nit-wit, boot load script? [00:29] where does Network Manager hide the config file? [00:29] claudiomet, Can you give me more details? :) [00:29] psusi, what evefr that faster boot thingy was if I'm correct. [00:29] can somebody help me instsallaing flashplayer [00:29] JoeR1: cat /proc/cpuinfo [00:29] remove se from se.archive.ubuntu....? [00:29] PalinBachman2012: Understood, thanks again.. [00:30] I fixed it :-) [00:30] Waqas, install and use the flashaid add-on [00:30] ubuntucork thanks [00:30] anyone here ever successfully mounted SSH/SFTP drives on boot? [00:30] Hm, this says there's a special verison of ubuntu for the thinkpad t520: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201102-7229 [00:30] The rep at lenovo didhn't know anything about it, anybody know where to get it? [00:30] Hmm I think my problem may be related to my wireless driver. I have a Toshiba laptop and when I plug in the network line, the computer boots without any issues [00:30] nit-wit, ohh, you mean my modified ureadahead? [00:30] JoeR1: here are my bank account details for a large donation 40-400....lol :-P [00:30] my "/etc/apt/sources.list" says http://cl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [00:30] does anyone know how to reset my dual screen display settings without the second screen being plugged in because when i plug it in both screens go black [00:31] puff, which version did you have? [00:31] but cl.archive.ubuntu.com always fails [00:31] i have to copy files to the root directory how does that work as a super user?? [00:31] claudiomet, shall i only remove e.g cl. ?? [00:31] Waqas, install and use the flashaid add-on [00:31] yes [00:31] ok [00:31] ubuntucork - $.50 headin your way, and you earned it! [00:31] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [00:31] claudiomet, and only have http://archive... [00:31] uRock: Thinkpda t520. [00:31] ah okey [00:31] .< [00:31] :) [00:31] thanks [00:31] bael56: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:31] puff, which version of Ubuntu did you have? [00:32] psusi, yeah that's it I see you have oneiric set in there cool [00:32] yor sources.list must be diferent, my sources.list says ".cl" because i'm from chile [00:32] nit-wit, I don't think there is a newer version yet in oneiric, so the natty version should work [00:32] JoeR1: what version of ubuntu you using?? [00:32] I would likesome help. I have a 2nd drive plugged in. I want to copy its contents to my main drive. It has ubuntu on it. The last time I tried there was something about permissions. What is the proper procedure, before I mess things up. [00:32] uRock: Oh, on the thinkpad? Nothing, yet. [00:33] uRock: On my t43p, 10.04 LTS. [00:33] I guess this is a weird way to ask it, but I would really like to see a program that ties SSHFS / AutoFS with a simple GUI so you can easily create auto-mounted SSH/SFTP drives. I imagine this could at least be scripted quite easily. Anyone interested in this kind of thing? Is there a place to go where I could pay for a custom script like this? [00:33] Use the LTS on the Lenovo, too [00:33] where does Network Manager hide the config file? [00:34] I love the LTS releases. Am I getting old and boring? ;-) [00:34] uRock, what config file? [00:34] uRock, i am relatively sure it uses the standard one [00:34] psusi, cool I have breakable Oneiric, brought it back from the dead several times, not sure how sheer luck I think. [00:34] does anyone know how to reset my dual screen display settings without the second screen being plugged in because when i plug it in both screens go black [00:34] psusi, the network manager config [00:34] Okay quick question is it possible to put use ubuntu off of a 4gb SD-Card ? [00:34] uRock: Cool, thanks. [00:34] tripleb: variety of ways to approach this, do you know what user your drive is mounting as? [00:35] lefty|afk: shortanswer yes! [00:35] lefty|afk, not natty [00:35] Urock I installed something hopefully that helps otherwise i have to use super user to copy files to root which i also dont understand how [00:35] @lefty|afk if the computer bios will boot from sd [00:35] nit-wit, yea... the natty version of ureadahead from my ppa should still work in Oneiric... you just have to download the .debs manually and install them with dpkg -i [00:35] iFrenzy, It can [00:35] nit-wit, what ? [00:35] ubuntucork, thanks ! [00:35] psusi, I'm lazy i use gdebi.;) [00:35] brb [00:35] lefty|afk: then yes it will work you just have to change the bios to boot the sdcard first [00:35] Waqas, you should have to run the add-on for it to install the flash package for your system [00:35] Anybody know a good Graphically intense 3D game for linux? [00:36] nit-wit, if you had it installed and did an upgrade you should still be using it [00:36] lefty|afk, I believe the natty needs just over 4 gigs to be happy to install. [00:36] ok [00:36] why does firefox fail [00:36] hard for me [00:36] fuck [00:37] psusi, I did an install and upgrade just to get Oneiric the original broke, so I'm not sure if it's installed as of now but will put it in the apt list [00:37] urock i am downloading the flash player for linux but i dont know how to copy the files to root and in which folder? [00:37] does anyone know how to reset my dual screen display settings without the second screen being plugged in because when i plug it in both screens go black [00:38] nit-wit, adding the ppa won't help now since it will look for the oniric version... check what version you have installed now with apt-cache policy ureadahea [00:38] I figured it out. It was a problem with the driver I needed for my wireless to work on 10.04. [00:38] Greetings folks, trying to wrap my head around a wierd issue I am receiving on 10.04. I run PowerTOP and one of the issues it highlights is that an audio device is active 100% of the time. So, after googling, and finding many with the same error but no solutions, I decided to dig in and see what I could find. However, according to pulseaudio, all my sound devices are on standby. [00:38] thanks everyone for the inspiration! [00:38] psusi, that makes sense thanks.;) [00:38] acording to pactl list [00:38] oli [00:38] Guys, something is wierd with my /etc/apt/sources.list ... I have removed the country prefix before the url.. So I am using to standard servers.. before doing that I had alot of errors and I have errors now too I cannot for example run apt-get update without getting ton of errors. Any suggestions??? [00:39] I am runing ubuntu server 9.10 [00:39] can somebody give me the command on how to copy flash files to root directory [00:39] as super user [00:39] how do i install virtualbox on ubuntu 10.10 x86? [00:39] bael56, run cat /etc/apt/sources.list and pastebin it [00:39] Waqas: do you mean from a flash drive, or shockwave flash? [00:40] nit-wit, Its on another computer I am in shell.. [00:40] shockwave flash installation after extracting the files [00:40] Hi, can I create an empty .xinit file in my home dir? Will it be launched before or after logging into gnome login manager> [00:40] rationalOgre: I mean it says i have to copy the files as super user to root [00:40] ? [00:40] how do i do that [00:41] nit-wit, sec... [00:41] Waqas: sudo cp /files/to/copy / [00:41] bael56, hmmm your having update problems and the list seems insignificant. [00:41] !virtualbox | linux_is_my_hero [00:41] linux_is_my_hero: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [00:41] Though why you would have to copy them to the root of your install is beyond me. [00:41] ok [00:42] Waqas, if you want a working flash install flash aid in FF and run it. [00:42] bael56 some firewall blocking ?? in my work a firewall is blocking and the updates doesn't work [00:42] Waqas, FF add ons [00:42] will the non-free flash plugin have issues when you have 2 different browsers open and both using flash? ie.. chromium & FF [00:42] ok firefox addons im going to watch that [00:43] claudiomet: what is this four letter swear word you speak of beginning with "wo" and ending in "rk" :P [00:43] claudiomet, http://pastie.org/1973826 here it is.. [00:43] Scunizi: Doubtful. They generally make their own sandbox for flash stuff. [00:43] nit-wit, here it is mate: http://pastie.org/1973826 [00:43] thanks [00:43] OK my laptop will crash unless I have the network line plugged into it. I am on a Toshiba laptop and I upgraded to 11.04 from 10.10 [00:43] rationalOgre: nice to know.. FF is failing and chromium isn't.. mostly.. it's a SaS flash based app for work [00:44] claudiomet, I am not behind router/firewall or someting [00:44] im now installing flash-aid 2.1.1 [00:45] does anyone know how to reset my dual screen display settings without the second screen being plugged in because when i plug it in both screens go black [00:45] I find ALL flash is buggy but the new beta on the adobe the least buggy of the lot, also todays chromium seems to crash less on heavy flash sites [00:45] Scunizi: you shouldn't have an issue. I've never heard of one. Time was you had to copy the flash files manually from your FF install to Chromium, now I believe flash installs in chromium automatically. [00:45] iFrenzy: did you check your bios settings? [00:45] I can go on youtube on both FF and Chrome at the same time. [00:45] nit-wit: i need to execute on of the installation methods from the extension menu, how do i do that.? [00:45] Chrome has Flash preinstalled :) [00:46] they say its recommend to use wizard mode [00:46] it is part of the deal they done with adobe to have early access to the code [00:46] ubuntucork: it was working fine until i was watching a hulu video and it went black and now when i plug it in both screens go black, if I restart it will work up until i log in and then both go black [00:46] rationalOgre: I had a "DOH!" moment.. I was logged into the app in chromium and it didn't like that fact in FF [00:46] Scunizi: Ah, that might be more a function of how the app is written. [00:46] iFrenzy: try dpkg --reconfigure X.org (i think its x.org anyhow, the xserver) [00:46] bael56, I don't see anything wrong with the list but I'm not a sever person. [00:46] As opposed to the instances of flash conflicting [00:47] rationalOgre: could be.. it uses a "Scout" login tokin [00:47] Waqas, I'm not sure what your talking about, nor I think will I.;) [00:47] Anyone have any thoughts on my problem? What information do you need? [00:47] i installed flash aid and than it said i had to install something or use wizard to do something as installation [00:47] ubuntucork: it says error unknowon option --reconfigure [00:47] nit-wit, Could you give me yours? :P [00:48] Keegers: sorry for the dopey question, what issue? [00:48] OK my laptop will crash unless I have the network line plugged into it. I am on a Toshiba laptop and I upgraded to 11.04 from 10.10 [00:48] i installed flash aid but the youtube video is not coming [00:48] Scunizi: Oh then yeah, that was the app that was going nuts, not your flash install. [00:48] No worries I know people are busy [00:48] iFrenzy: sorry typo dpkg-reconfigure X.org [00:49] Keegers: Does it give any sort of error message when it crashes? [00:49] ubuntucork: package [00:49] Keegers, by crash does it just stop working even on the terminal or is it the display going wonky etc. can you explain? [00:49] ubuntucork: package 'x.org' is not installed [00:49] iFrenzy no idea if it is called X.org or x.org [00:49] By crash I mean screen freezes and the computer becomes unresponsive. [00:49] ubuntucork: neither works [00:50] rationalOgre: no message [00:50] xserver-(your chipset name, nvidia etc etc etc) [00:50] Keegers: At what point does this freeze happen? During initial bootup before you get to the GDM? [00:50] bael56, I have natty you want this. http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [00:50] ubuntucork: i just have like an intel internal graphics thing its a laptop [00:51] rationalOgre: GDM loads. It freezes right on the login menu [00:51] KEegers: try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-intel [00:51] Keegers, choose the recovery kernel then the failx boot from the gui [00:51] not too sure if the intel chip yoru using supports dual screen, mine doesnt :( [00:51] ubuntucork: I think you were directing that at me, but it didn't work either way [00:52] how do i use and install flash-aid for firefox extension? [00:52] ubuntucork: it does because it was working earlier [00:52] iFrenzy: yup sorry so, not a gui guy, if i cant see black and white, its too many shades of grey for me ;-) [00:52] hey guys [00:52] Waqas, open ff open addons tyoe in flash aid install restart and run it if it does not have apopup [00:52] ubuntucork: the thing is i had it set to only display on my tv earlier, so when i plug it in i'm sure its defaulting to that display, so that's the reason my pc goes black [00:52] any reason why the computer would show two different linux OS's to boot from [00:53] the difference being a number 28 and 31 [00:53] bane99: I noticed that problem when i updated my kernel [00:53] it just appeared lol [00:53] Hello everyone, How do you ppl switch between multiple instances of an applications e.g 5-6 nautilus windows ? [00:53] i just decided to use the higher number [00:53] Bane99, this are kernels [00:53] Bane99, those are kernals you updated leave them alone [00:53] *those [00:53] in unity [00:53] Does anyone know if there are still any jaunty repos around? [00:53] use the higher number? [00:53] This is why I run LTS releases 6-7 months AFTER they launch :-) [00:53] i'm confused [00:53] i updated a kernel? [00:53] Stability :) [00:54] all i did was install wine [00:54] Bane99, yep [00:54] and a bunch of updates [00:54] agitkid, google will know jaunty is past life, [00:54] jamil_1: ALT+tab? [00:54] question: I noticed that Mac users can run an 'open' command line utilty to open up, say a html page, through the cmd. I tried it in Ubuntu, say: open index.html, but it didn't work. Is there any analogue to this in ubuntu, or I am just using it wrong? [00:54] so just choose the one at the top of the list? [00:54] ubuntucork: http://pastebin.com/edqkYD2U [00:54] Bane99, yes [00:54] ok [00:54] sparda_: xdg-open is one [00:54] anyways time to install Starcraft :P [00:54] woohoo [00:54] :P [00:54] rage: but that is too cumbersome...no other way other than double clicking nautilus icon on sidebar ? [00:55] hi does anyone know how to recover a corrupted .odt (open office document) file / find an old copy of it? [00:55] nit-wit: so that is no ;) [00:55] always good to have the previous kernal to fall back on if you break something Bane99 [00:55] nit-wit: I do not know what you mean... [00:55] hey im back [00:55] arand: thanks, will look into it! [00:55] anyone using a drobo s with their ubuntu box? [00:55] i tried fixing my problem via the guide but it got too confusing [00:55] my linux experience is limited to flashing ROMs on my android phone [00:55] :P [00:55] agitkid, there are probably some but jaunty is past life no official open repo's persay [00:55] !anyone | SpaceBass [00:55] SpaceBass: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [00:56] rationalOgre: but that is too cumbersome...no other way other than double clicking nautilus icon on sidebar ? [00:56] correction?. :) [00:56] does anyone know how to recover a corrupted .odt (open office document) file / find an old copy of it? [00:56] get a symbian phone,a truly smartphone [00:56] nit-wit, Cool, but I have version 9? Does it metter?? [00:56] Keegers, do you get a grub menu when you boot [00:56] ok here is my problem. in mozilla pictures seem to have inverted/neon colors. especially on facebook but other sites as well [00:56] nit-wit: thx for the response.. i am even looking for unofficial repos. i have to finish on VM and i don't have time to deal with upgrading to an LTS version [00:56] isn't symbian dieing out? [00:56] can somebody tell me exactly how to get flash aid working in linux? [00:56] also video is slightly choppy when full screen [00:57] I have a new Dobo S with usb 3.0 - according to drobom (in the drobo-utils) package it is not a drobo because the device ID is "USB 3.0" rather than "drobo" - anyone know a workaround or way to get drobom to recognize the device? [00:57] anyone good with file recovery? [00:57] sparda_: what is a mac? :-P [00:57] alextybob: If you load it in OpenOffice it should try to recover it. [00:57] nit-wit: no it goes right to GDM [00:57] yeah but when it does it's all hashes and random code and stuff [00:57] sparda_: wget url will download a full url for you [00:57] sparda_: for full instructions see man or info wget [00:58] ubuntucork: http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/ [00:58] alextybob: You on Ubuntu? [00:58] yes [00:58] sparda: it says "site not available due to running internet exploder 3.0" :-P [00:59] anybody? nitwit helped me earlier but i didnt get anywhere... [00:59] erkum: whats wrong? [00:59] rationalOgre, I can't find any ubuntu orientated file recovery programs that support odt recovery [00:59] cork: after the new ubuntu update my colors when viewing pics on mozilla are screwy [00:59] like neon/inverted [00:59] if anyone is handy with grub: I installed windows which overwrote my ubuntu generated MBR. I booted with a generic linux livecd(which didn't have grub), then mounted /dev and /proc onto the original linux partition(also mounted). grub-install ran smoothly, but now I get "file not found" errors when trying to boot from any of the partitions. Any ideas? [00:59] ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/backup [01:00] See if an old copy is in there [01:00] alextybob: i had some success's with the built in file recovery dialog [01:00] tried there nothing :( [01:00] erkum: sorry wouldnt even know where to start looking there! [01:00] Keegers, sorry I thought you problem was a boot the problem you do have though is a bit unusual in that it makes no sense, but stranger things have happened. [01:00] haha ok thanks [01:00] yeah that normally works but i lost power as it was (i think) saving [01:00] ubuntucork, [01:00] cork: what about choppy video at fullscreen === JohnnyonFlame_ is now known as JohnnyonFLame === JohnnyonFLame is now known as JohnnyonFlame [01:01] erkum: alextybob: no more of a server head here sorry :( [01:01] lol [01:01] hah fair [01:02] its just i've lost 3 days of work [01:02] ok cork: xchat help. how do i find rooms just to chat? [01:02] I always always say stick with the LTS as they are at least stable and no new changes just bugfixes [01:02] and i have exams soon :( [01:02] so i'm stressed as it is [01:02] so any help would be massively appreciated [01:02] hi, how is it possible that 'fdisk -k' detects my hard disk but GParted don't?? [01:02] erkum: try #ubuntu-offtopic or #defocus [01:02] alextybob: Do you know if you have autosaves turned on? [01:02] i do [01:03] ka1ser: GParted has to be run as superuser [01:03] anyone else who might know where to find un-official repos for jaunty ?

[01:04] agitkid: upgrade to 10.04 mmmmmm LTS goodness [01:04] rww: if i was dealing with just one server, i agree. i am dealing with a ton of VMs on a tested software platform [01:04] alextybob: and it's nowhere to be found in the folder I referred to above? [01:04] that transition requires testing and time [01:05] nope [01:05] rww: defocus says "cannot send to channel" ? what did i do wrong [01:05] not at all rationalOgre [01:05] erkum: read #defocus's /topic [01:05] agitkid: LTS=support for five whole years on the server! count them!! [01:05] ubuntucork: yeah, that's where i am going for sure :) [01:05] rww: ohh i think i get it. probation period [01:05] erkum: basically, yeah. === infinitu1 is now known as infinitux [01:06] alextybob: So all you have is a corrupted .odt file? [01:06] does somebody know how to get flash-aid working after installation in fire fox/ so that i can see videos on youtube? [01:06] ubuntucork: it is being ran as superuser [01:06] Did you try opening it with Archive Manager? [01:06] is sshfs the only way to mount an SSH/SFTP server? basically, I want to be able to open/edit/save files off of other servers without always having to login or sync locally... [01:07] ubuntucork: im on live cd... I think it does that by default [01:07] rationalOgre, yes very much so [01:07] agitkid: I host on a VM too, and instead of apache am delighted with the cherokee ppa as it has a "webapp" store allowing defining a virtual server a snap AND installing the required app, eg. wordpress, drupal etc etc... no more tarballs :) [01:07] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10862615#post10862615 [01:07] rationalOgre, ^^^ for details [01:07] ok xchat question again. im in some rooms but how do i find a room list? [01:07] also, ubuntu installation doesn't find any partitions [01:07] ka1ser: nope not for all releases :) [01:07] hi please i need tool to control my router dlink [01:07] but on ubuntu live cd, I am able to even mount my partitions and see the content [01:08] !alis | erkum [01:08] erkum: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode.

[01:08] !alis | erkum [01:08] eep, xangua beat me to it [01:08] ok [01:08] nit-wit i try it [01:09] ubuntucork: that's cool. i use nginx for speed tho. and i build these VMs on a xen dom0 that requires me to use 9.04, which is why i need to find a repo just for this week, until i have time to test the upgrade to 10.4 [01:09] yes i saw it nit-wit [01:09] erkum, right click server list of channels [01:09] Bah! [01:09] hi please i need tool to control my router dlink [01:09] nit-wit: No worries. But it is a problem since it is a laptop and I cant keep starting it plugged into the Ethernet [01:09] nit-wit: I had a 3rd party driver for my wireless card in 10.10. I removed it but still no luck. [01:10] Waqas, flash aid will find the lates adobe install it and remove the installer and any other flash not needed. [01:10] agitkid: looks like the answr is no as others said it is gone past eol, your in a dark corner of the universe I am afraid. Repeating the number 42 might help though ;-) [01:10] hi please i need tool to control my router dlink [01:10] yes it finished [01:10] i have to restart fox now [01:10] is there a way to increase the amount I can scroll up on my terminal? [01:11] x3k4p: try a web browser and the router manual. [01:11] haha im linux retarded. its like getting help but the answers are in spanish! ill just take the slow kids role and learn soon hopefully [01:11] reval, yes [01:11] reval, it is somewhere in the settigns [01:11] settings* [01:11] it worked out nit-wit, thanks for your support [01:11] thanks for all your help!! [01:11] nit-wit do you have msn i would like to learn from you [01:11] quick question - I just added a font to my system, but I can't see it present in xfontsel. I've issued "xset fp rehash" but that didn't make any difference. What am I missing out? [01:11] erkum: google fullcirclemagazine, it even pets your hand while holding it for you :) [01:11] are compiz crashes still common in natty? I am still getting them [01:11] Waqas, no problem it is as if ut is magic .;) [01:11] *it [01:11] guys [01:11] isee [01:11] halt vs poweroff? [01:12] ok [01:12] reval, edit -> profile preferences -> scrolling [01:12] whats the diff? [01:12] Cube``, yes [01:12] thanks =) [01:12] its it a truetype font viking? [01:12] Also, I'm running stuff on a remote display, what server do I need to put the fonts on? the remote X server, or the host I'm running the program from? [01:12] nit-wit: whats the diff? [01:12] Cube``: for eco credentials, always poweroff!!! [01:12] ubuntucork: why? [01:12] it's from the xfont-jmk package... [01:12] Waqas, I'm a open source user mostly, and there is not much I really know overall . [01:13] thanks cork ill check it out [01:13] Cube``: poweroff = zero engery usage. in some machines halt does not poweroff the machine [01:13] oh holy carp, I'm still in here huh? [01:13] I basically installed the package the standard way (apt-get install xfont-jmk) [01:14] Cube``, not suye of the answer how are you using halt ans power off. [01:14] how do i restart x? [01:14] Cube``: i always make sure by just issuing init 0 [01:14] sudo start gdm [01:14] ubuntucork: aah ok [01:14] ubuntucork: just like that? [01:15] Hilikus, sudo restart gdm [01:15] DAMN thats gotta be the leet way to do it [01:15] Hilikus, sudo start gdm [01:15] Cube: "init 0" but without the quotes [01:15] why the unity clock does not change it's format to 12 hours???... [01:15] nit-wit, does start also work? [01:15] I run on servers so guis not available [01:16] actually, the best way of powering off isn't just "shutdown -h ...." - pulling the power cord (or even the power switch) does wonders for saving energy. [01:16] PS windows = work: therefore work=bad. bad=avoid. therefore work=avioid and by inference windows also = avoid :-) [01:16] smw, I don'rt think so my command is actually missing something but works if you run a stop gdm in the tty [01:16] compiz crashes anyone? [01:16] wolter, you been trying to get the bling? [01:17] wolter, no thanks. I don't like compiz crashes [01:17] so... hmm, any way to mount ssh/sftp other than SSHFS? [01:17] nit-wit, nah, been using compiz for a long time but since natty it occasionally crashes [01:17] viking667: on most hardware init 0 stops everything that the mobo powers even itself. but yeah the power switch afterwards is always my favourite too :-) I have to pay for my energy and tommorows generation pays for our misusing it :-) [01:17] nit-wit, does it never crash at your end [01:17] ? [01:17] rjonesx1, why would you want another method? [01:18] wolter, I have it set with the cube etc loose the window titile bar once in a while [01:18] any crazy people in here? [01:18] rjonesx1: I dont like mounting SSH/SFTP as anything that stays open long enough can be snooped eventually. A risk not worth taking for 30 secs/day of inconveneince [01:18] I've got machines here that don't entirely stop using energy, even though most of the hardware is off, there's usually enough trickling through the circuits watching for power-on events (i.e. power switches) [01:18] hey can anyone here help me with dual-monitor and sound/audio issues? Thanks [01:18] sudokill, look in the mirror.;) [01:18] nasa is active [01:18] hey can anyone here help me with dual-monitor and sound/audio issues? Thanks [01:18] nit-wit, hm yes thats what I am talking about I think, you lose the panel too? And Desktop, etc.. [01:18] sudokill: #ubuntu-offtopic has plenty ;P [01:18] sudokill: hi, me=killthemall@genocidal.im :-P [01:19] rjonesx1, the file manager will do it for you if you go to an sftp uri. [01:19] Trfsrfr, when you ask to ask in any irc channel, you will be asked to ask [01:19] how do i get a list of users on my linux box [01:19] viking667: thors weapons spring to mind to help stop that problem ;-) [01:19] wolter, you have the window decoration I suspect I do to but mine is pretty tweaked. [01:19] hi, how can i get the tasksel tasks from ubuntu-server on my desktop (to easily install lamp, pg samba ...) [01:20] nit-wit, what do you mean? [01:20] flowbee: regular users or all users? [01:20] OK so the other problem is still there. But I have a new question [01:20] roger21, just install it yourself. If you want to know exactly what it downloads, you need to mount the image and read the preseed file. [01:20] roger21: best bit so you dont ruin your desktop is install ubuntu-server as a VM [01:20] ubuntucork, i want to see if the user 'mysql' and group 'mysql' exist [01:20] roger21, just install what you need [01:21] smw: well, frankly, it has just come down to 4 failed tutorials to do what I want: I have several servers that I would like to auto-mount on start-up. I spend all day working on a large number of web servers, and there currently exists no IDE or IDE plugin for Linux that allows me to live edit (these are dev servers, not production). So, the best solution I can come up with is somehow map folders to SFTP. SSHFS seemed like the best s [01:21] olution, but as mentioned, 4 tutorials down and fail after fail after fail [01:21] My install sees my "mouse" as a PS2 mouse and not a trackpad. Any thoughts on how to make my mouse into a trackpad? === Criscolo is now known as Crisco [01:21] and also, pressing the alternative-menu key seems to crash compiz almost every time [01:21] flowbee: you on a desktop or a server? [01:21] server [01:21] smw, i'm not sure what i need, the tasksel stuff sounded easy [01:21] so i finally get the firefox working properly but still i need to learn how to use ubuntu [01:21] wolter, loaded copiz config gui there is a window decoration plugin that is supposed to keep the window top panel working, you know likw a appp window like the browser [01:21] Waqas, welcome [01:21] rjonesx1, have you tried going to an sftp uri in the filemanager? [01:22] hey sudokill [01:22] Waqas; once your NIC and Firefox work, you're set.. google is your friend! [01:22] smw: not yet, ill give that a shot [01:22] nit-wit, oh yes I know what the window decorator is hehe [01:22] yes Lacan that sounds familiar [01:22] Waqas, so what u trying to do / set up? I'm guessing ur new [01:22] wolter, you want a link to a cube setup [01:22] roger21, type "sudo tasksel" in a terminal [01:22] Waqas, lol sorry... u got a specific problem cuz 'learning ubuntu' is pretty broad! [01:23] roger21, I will warn you that running servers takes some CLI work. [01:23] roger21, I will also say that most of the time people install the server edition and then install a desktop on top if they absolutely need it. [01:23] smw, no but the tasksel from ubuntu-desktop does not have the server stuff [01:24] LAcan: thanks for thinking smart i think i need to think smart also, how did you learn ubuntu with google?? [01:24] flowbee: "groups | grep "mysql" [01:24] roger21, It does when I look... [01:24] nit-wit, why? haha I am just trying to stop this crashes [01:24] flowbee [01:24] hum [01:24] thx [01:24] roger21, I see LAMP server, DNS server, etc [01:24] !manual | Waqas this is a good way to learn ubuntu: [01:24] Waqas this is a good way to learn ubuntu:: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[01:25] roger21, no idea [01:25] Trfsrfr, you asked if you could ask a question about sound and dual monitors, right? [01:25] i'll check again [01:25] *par [01:25] roger21, I have never used tasksel before [01:25] My install sees my "mouse" as a PS2 mouse and not a trackpad.

[01:30] LAcan: you tried running the windows sync thng in WINE? [01:30] ubuntucork, thats not a fix! (and yes) [01:30] LAcan, pretty sure it is, i synced them initially, don't know what happened. [01:30] ubuntucork, bb desktop is barely stable in windows let alone thru wine... [01:30] http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/7532/selection007.png [01:30] http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/7532/selection007.png [01:31] wolter, im more than happy to check out the chat rule book if you have a link. I surely am not trying to tick anyone off, so if there is a link i'd check it out for sure. [01:31] how can i see all my partitions and how much of the partition is filled [01:31] LAcan: have you tried barry from the repos? [01:31] peeps[lappy], ok so ubuntu one is working for synchronizing files and such? [01:31] can anyone help me reinstall grub correctly from the 11.04 x64 live cd? [01:31] Don't worry, you didn't tick anyone off as far as I know, I just said that to you because it will save you time in the future to just ask [01:31] does noone click on my pictures ! [01:31] click it ! [01:31] http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/7532/selection007.png [01:31] i did [01:31] nice [01:31] :) [01:31] lol [01:32] billy_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:32] arleslie: too much www...www...wwwork for me i am afraid [01:32] ffs [01:32] ubuntucork, ya but it only lets u do the full backup... u need something else to do the synching...? === billy_ is now known as Bibs [01:32] cool. thanks. [01:32] wwwork, lol thats a good term! [01:32] Bibs, so ur into beastiality too? [01:33] ubuntucork, ehh [01:33] sudokill, of course [01:33] cool [01:33] so... [01:33] LAcan: Sorry as I use Google for my mail and calendars on my own domain, perhaps my solution for that would not work for you, hope you find something that wwww...www...works for you :) [01:33] nothing like a bit of horse on mouse action [01:33] ubuntucork, ya.. idont trust google... and i actually like Outlook.. i know, shameful [01:33] how do I get my dual monitor settings to keep? they change to mirror screen after screen saver. [01:34] LAcan: I hate four letter swear words that being with "wo" and end in "rk" and cannot bring myself to say them :-P [01:34] LAcan: I wont shun you :-) I have to use it in my place of remunerated employment too, and at home use evolution for its famialrity and its power :) [01:35] LAcan, hrm, i don't know what's going on. I opened the Ubuntu One control panel from System-> Preferences. and I can't log in from there. when i go to the ubuntu one website, i can login just fine. i am using the exact same credential [01:35] hey outlook is powerful too.. if you have 8 gigs of ram and SSD lol [01:35] hi i've a question: is it ok that my ubuntu logs out automatically at least once a day (11.04). Do you experienced similar with this version or other? thanks! [01:35] Evolution? *shudders* [01:35] peeps[lappy], lemme take a look at mine [01:35] Maverick001, by itself? [01:35] wolter, did I ask that correctly? Ive been asking for 3-4 nights here with no response. [01:35] yes [01:36] well no, thats not ok [01:36] Trfsrfr, yes there you did :) [01:36] Maverick001: I can't help you as I only use 10.04 LTS as I know I have only bugfixes and no new tech for the next 5 years :) [01:36] i have read on some forums that it happened with other users too [01:36] yay! [01:36] Trfsrfr, support is sometimes hard to find here in this channel :S I suffer from the same [01:36] SpaceBass: lol!! [01:36] Maverick001, unless u mean screensaver password or something [01:36] most of the time nobody can't answer my questions [01:36] no scr saver [01:36] wolter, is there a more suitable place that I should be? [01:36] And my computer crashed again [01:37] ubuntucork, I want to like and use it, but its always so ugly and frankly never works for me w/ exchange ?. [01:37] hm, can't think of any, If I knew I'd be there and not here haha [01:37] This time I was in Terminal and typed "sudo su" hit enter and then it crashed [01:37] !patience | Trfsrfr wolter [01:37] Trfsrfr wolter: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [01:37] cool, thanks for the etiquette tips. [01:37] i wanted to search for some logs at log manager but i didnt find anything [01:37] SpaceBass: never use exchange, I use Google[no smart cracks :-P] to manage my email for me on my domain [01:37] peeps[lappy], ok silly question bt, are you connected to the internet on your ubuntu machine? [01:37] Trfsrfr, whats wrong [01:38] i probably cant help [01:38] LAcan, yes [01:38] ubuntucork, no cracks on google at all - its great. I run my own zimbra server otherwise I'd be on google in a hearbeat [01:38] I've got a problem, I had an hdtv plugged into the hdmi port of my laptop, everything was working fine once I changed a few display settings, I changed it so that only the tv screen was displaying, well i was watching a hulu video full screen and all of the sudden the screen went black and ever since i can get nothing but a black screen when i plug in the hdmi cable on both the laptop screen and tv, I've restarted multiple time [01:38] s with the hdmi cable plugged in and not plugged in to no avail === Keegers_Shyia is now known as Keegers [01:38] LAcan, like i said, i can log into https://one.ubuntu.com website in my browser, but my Ubuntu One control panel app will not login [01:38] peeps[lappy], ok so under the devices tab in ubuntu one what u got there...? [01:38] devices tab? [01:39] do bots ask questions? [01:39] LAcan, is that i unity thing, i'm on classic mode [01:39] Trfsrfr, whats wrong [01:39] Trfsrfr: only the inquisitive ones :-P [01:39] I've got acroread installed so I can open pdf's in that app if I want.. how do I get Firefox to default to that app or open a pdf in a new window? [01:39] 2 issues [01:39] cool [01:40] sound and dual monitor [01:40] what about sound? [01:40] none [01:40] Scunizi: Tools->Manage content plug ins [01:40] checked ur using the right sound card? [01:40] in sound options === Abnormal is now known as Milossh [01:41] I went thru some troubleshooting and did a couple things in terminal [01:41] Hello, I'm running Ubuntu Server 10.10 running a software RAID 1 array and noticed the hard drive light is on solid all the time. Is this normal with software raid? It never blinks [01:41] very new to linux [01:41] ok [01:41] Trfsrfr, alsamixer? [01:41] check in the sound options if ur using the right soudn card [01:41] alsamixer shouldnt be muted by default [01:41] lcasale, it could be - hard to say - could also be property of the mobo ? what type of RAID and what does cat /proc/mdstat show [01:42] KM0201: are you active at the moment? [01:42] nothing is muted [01:42] apparently Drobo shows up as series of 2tb disks in Linux? should I use LVM or is there something more preferable to make them work as one drive? [01:42] ubuntucork: checked.. shows "Portable document Format (applicate bla bla) = Adobe reader 9.4" .... but doesn't work.. [01:42] I had sound working at one point, before an update [01:42] i don't think it's anything on the mobo, also mdstat isn't running anything right now [01:43] LAcan, where do you see a devices tab? [01:43] Trfsrfr, does it report the right card or can you select it? [01:43] Scunizi: is there an option for evince?? [01:43] lcasale, not running anything? how did you build the raid? mdadm? [01:43] ubuntucork: no.. [01:43] peeps[lappy], in the ubuntu one config under system/administration/ubuntuone [01:43] I've got a problem, I had an hdtv plugged into the hdmi port of my laptop, everything was working fine once I changed a few display settings, I changed it so that only the tv screen was displaying, well i was watching a hulu video full screen and all of the sudden the screen went black and ever since i can get nothing but a black screen when i plug in the hdmi cable on both the laptop screen and tv, I've restarted multiple time [01:43] s with the hdmi cable plugged in and not plugged in to no avail [01:43] Trfsrfr, are you getting no sound at all? or just in flash? [01:43] maybe im not looking in the right place [01:43] i turned off all the services i installed as far as i know, but yes i used mdadm to build the raid [01:43] no sound at all [01:43] I've created a package using checkinstall, but forgot to change some information. how can I edit the information in .deb file? [01:43] Scunizi: try evince I never had any issues with it and it integrates into firefox too :) [01:44] LAcan, ok, but that app needs me to login and it won't accept my email/password. the same ones that work fine on the Ubuntu One website [01:44] LAcan, i can't do anything in that app without logging in [01:44] Trfsrfr, you could try googling an asound.conf and add a generic config for ur sound card [01:44] iFrenzy: Sounds like you fried your video card. [01:44] that makes sure it always uses the right one [01:44] peeps[lappy]: can you check to see is it using http or https and adjust the app one accordingly? [01:44] what does error "cannot stat" mean? [01:44] but it shouldnt be needed [01:44] lcasale, if you used mdadm then cat /proc/mdstat will return something [01:44] peeps[lappy], huh thats weird... mine isnt working either... maybe its down? [01:45] sudokill, im more newbie than that! [01:45] rationalOgre: my laptop screen still works, and the tv will work up until i log in [01:45] naryfa, perhaps file does not exist [01:45] naryfa, file does not exist [01:45] gonna try resetting my password through the app [01:45] lcasale, also, paste bin the results of: mdadm -D /dev/md0 [01:45] ubuntucork: evince isn't even in the drop down list.. unfortunately I actually have to use acrobat in the browser for work because of forms that have security on them.. I hate it but I can't avoid it. [01:45] actually i take that back, i'm not sure if mdadm built the array, it was created during the install, right now mdstat is just saying the array is degraded because i took out one of the drives debugging [01:45] Trfsrfr, do u remmeber what update caused it? [01:45] janisozaur: escott: thank you === Zorlin is now known as Guest19150 [01:46] sudokill, what is the comand in terminal to view sound components? [01:46] lsmod | grep snd [01:46] peeps[lappy], try just "Manage Account" from the account tab, that should take you to the ubuntu website [01:46] lcasale, that would cause the light to stay on [01:46] sudokill, it was before the upgrade [01:46] lcasale: is it possible in the logs its trying to rebuild the array and hence thats why the light is on? [01:46] i just did this.... [01:46] where is it? [01:46] did u upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04? [01:46] LAcan, dude, there are *no tabs* when you aren't even logged in [01:47] im running dual monitors...is there away to disable second memune thing on the panel on the second monitor [01:47] where can i find the shut down, log off, booting logs in log file viewer, so that i can detect the reason why the system logs out randomly ..? thx [01:47] yes to the latest version...from...meerkat? is that right? [01:47] yes [01:47] iFrenzy: Oh. Then I would guess something went wrong with the hdmi configuration. [01:47] so sound was working in 10.10 but not in 11.04 [01:47] ? [01:47] hy [01:47] Maverick001, the logout is likely caused by an Xorg crash. check /var/log/Xorg.0.log but you may not find the cause [01:47] Maverick001: I just cat [file]| grep "string im interested in" > file.txt [01:48] but before I uprgraded, I updated. and havent had sound since [01:48] it's not trying to rebuild the array now [01:48] no* [01:48] Maverick001, try /var/log/syslog [01:48] rationalOgre: do you know how I would reset the settings with the hdmi [01:49] yes, in meerkat i changed a value from a 0 to a 1 somewhere along the line and got it working. then i let auto update do its thing, and voila. no sound again. [01:49] Maverick001, also, what escott said. you can grep for 'EE' or '!!', this should indicate error [01:49] Trfsrfr: worst case scenario you can always try dpkg-reconfigure -all [01:49] thx for the replies i will try that [01:49] It's been awhile since I messed around with Linux. Did it ever get any better about handling NTFS? [01:49] and looking at the syslog nothing is active [01:50] Levander, yes [01:50] LAcan, the only thing i can do in this app is fail authentication. http://i.imgur.com/YllIS.png [01:50] Maverick001, but beware, as '!!' (without quotes) is also a bash 'command' (it repeates last command) [01:50] LAcan, i juts reset the password and it still says authentication exceptions [01:50] ubuntucork, what will that do? [01:50] Levander, ntfs-3g is a fuse module that has a few more features than the kernel module [01:50] janisozaur: right i just try to read the file first [01:50] Levander: NTFS is now mounted in userspace and has experimental but very good NTFS write support :-) [01:50] peeps[lappy], i have no idea bro... on a completely unrelated note.. did u know amazon gives u 5 gigs free? [01:50] I've created a package using checkinstall, but forgot to change some information. how can I edit the information in .deb file? [01:50] I've got a problem, I had an hdtv plugged into the hdmi port of my laptop, everything was working fine once I changed a few display settings, I changed it so that only the tv screen was displaying, well i was watching a hulu video full screen and all of the sudden the screen went black and ever since i can get nothing but a black screen when i plug in the hdmi cable on both the laptop screen and tv, I've restarted multiple time [01:51] s with the hdmi cable plugged in and not plugged in to no avail [01:51] I'm reading a page now that says Linux can't create/delete files or grow/shrink files. http://bisqwit.iki.fi/story/howto/ntfs/ [01:51] your reading wrong [01:51] Levander, THATS WRONG [01:51] why do you need ntfs anyways? [01:51] LAcan, don't care about file storage, i want to sync tomboy notes [01:51] Trfsrfr, there is a "multimedia systems selector" as a hidden menu available [01:51] Oh wait, there's a big note at the top of that page saying that page is obsolete... [01:51] My bad. [01:51] Trfsrfr: it will reconfigure all your packages on your machine without installing anything :) [01:52] Levander, it can shrink/grow ntfs but it marks it as dirty, and windows needs to run its own fsck [01:52] escott, eww - that sounds sloppy [01:52] robin0800, hidden? should I be messing with it? [01:53] Levander: blame the authors and alleged patent holders of the filesystem for the ugliness, not the generous people who help us work with the sloppy thing :-) [01:53] ubuntucork, ummm...okay. is that a bad thing? I have never had sound since the latest upgrade, so...? [01:53] janisozaur: ok i dont know what grep is, but i found a line at the time of crash in the syslog and also red this on the black screen something about cron: [01:53] May 26 02:17:01 maverick-A52 CRON[8315]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) [01:53] Trfsrfr, yes I don't know why its hidden so is software sources [01:53] Maverick001, thats nothing, just your hourly automated tasks [01:53] Maverick001, grep searches for text [01:54] ubuntucork: So, there are still real problems using NTFS with Linux? (I realize it's not Linux's fault, but I got to decide whether to use NTFS or FAT for this external drive that'll be moved around sometimes) [01:54] Maverick001: grep is a tool to seach through a file looking for matchng strings, in your case poweroff , shutdown or whatever [01:54] ubuntucork, nit-wit : FYI, in case people come asking again: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [01:54] but anytime when the system logged out wrote something about cron [01:54] Levander, FAT is probably better because it can e used on a mac as well [01:54] so how should i use grep [01:54] however u want [01:54] l [01:54] :D [01:55] !enter | Maverick001 [01:55] Maverick001: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:55] Levander: I have used a 500gb portable drive and had to use it with windows machines so chose and formatted it as NTFS because i had to put files >2GB on it(DVD images) and have had zero issues [01:55] Maverick001, if it is really cron related it would be on the hour every hour [01:55] escott: Hmmm, NTFS can't even be used on a Mac? That about seals it for FAT... Suprises me FAT can't be read on a Mac... [01:55] Maverick001, man grep [01:55] escott: Playstations can't read NTFS either, but can read FAT. [01:55] robin0800, ubuntucork sudokill somewhere awhile back, i was using the community troubleshooting tips, and i went into terminal and changed a number somewhere, and I got sound. that was in the prior version. [01:55] Levander, FAT can be but I think Apple has the same problems with NTFS as everyone else does [01:55] brb need to help "she who must be obeyed :-)" [01:55] okay, so im trying to make a startup command that also changes the working directory before executing a process [01:56] escott: Yeah, I'm going FAT for this drive. [01:56] Trfsrfr, "changed a number somewhere" [01:56] Thanks guys! [01:56] Maverick001, basically, you should do something like this: "grep -n EE /var/log/xorg.log" or whatever the file is [01:56] thanks [01:56] any suggestions? [01:56] (id prefer to no make a .sh [01:56] I've got a problem, I had an hdtv plugged into the hdmi port of my laptop, everything was working fine once I changed a few display settings, I changed it so that only the tv screen was displaying, well i was watching a hulu video full screen and all of the sudden the screen went black and ever since i can get nothing but a black screen when i plug in the hdmi cable on both the laptop screen and tv, I've restarted multiple time [01:56] Maverick001, and also "grep -n \!\! " [01:57] s with the hdmi cable plugged in and not plugged in to no avail [01:57] sudokill, yes. from a 1 to a 2, or a 0 to a 1. I felt like a programmer, it was awesome. [01:57] iFrenzy: what does xrandr say? [01:57] how can I edit the information in .deb file? [01:57] Trfsrfr, lol [01:57] Trfsrfr, hard to say what it was [01:57] anyone know what: " NetworkManager[596]: nm_setting_802_1x_get_pkcs11_module_path: assertion `NM_IS_SETTING_802_1X (setting)' failed" tells a person about why a wireless connection does not work? [01:57] agitkid, cool I will bookmark it.;) [01:57] i dont remember where, but I got it from following the troubleshooting guides. [01:58] Trfsrfr, asoundrc pcm card0? [01:58] rationalOgre: are you asking what it says about the hdmi port? [01:58] and I have been doing that recently here as well, but I have been without sound for 6 weeks. [01:58] guys how do i use wine? [01:58] iFrenzy: yes [01:58] I make some software that people on Ubuntu use. I'm extremely poor, does anyone have budget to send me an install CD, or, even better, get me on the list of people who are worth sending CDs to as they become available? (I'm on dial-up, otherwise I'd just download it.) [01:58] for installing a game [01:58] Trfsrfr, does pcm.card0 ring any bells? [01:58] :p [01:58] sudokill, i dont know. tell me how I can answer that question for you. [01:59] maybe, I changed a number on the end of a command, possibly like that [01:59] rationalOgre: it says disconnected because when I plug it in I get nothing [01:59] rationalOgre: like both screens go black [02:00] sudokill, since though, i have gone back to on-board sound, then swithced again, then back, etc...now I am back to trying to make the 5.1 card be the sound card. I turned of the on-board in bios. [02:01] Trfsrfr, do neither of them work? [02:01] nothing works [02:01] aw [02:01] i have no idea what update caused it [02:01] but it did at one time [02:01] or what number u changed [02:01] i have no idea [02:02] guys im very lame but do i have to login as root or put something else(the destination file is correct): grep: /var/log/xorg.0.log: No such file or directory [02:02] iFrenzy: look in home for .xprofile is it there? [02:02] what was that pcm0 thing you mentioned? [02:02] Trfsrfr, in alsamixer f6 allows you to select a sound card [02:02] Maverick001, grep "pattern" /from/file suggested pattern was "EE" [02:02] rationalOgre: where would I find that [02:02] robin0800, let me check that. [02:02] Trfsrfr, try this: in ur home directory create an empty file called .asoundrc [02:02] iFrenzy: Look in your home folder for a file called .xprofile [02:02] Maverick001, and a capital X [02:02] where do we determine CD ROM directories in linux [02:02] ? [02:03] if you cant see dot files hit CTRL+H and they will appear [02:03] Bane99, media [02:03] Trfsrfr, or do u already have one? [02:03] Bane99, your CD will usually be mounted (files made accessible) in /media/cdrom or /media/dvd [02:03] rationalOgre: no I have an .xsession-errors and .xsession-errors.old [02:03] i dont even know where to see that [02:03] it's a blu-ray drive [02:04] i also have a DVD-RW drive [02:04] sudokill, let me check [02:04] open the .xsession-errors with gedit and see what it says [02:04] See if it mentions the HDMI screen [02:04] so do i run everything from terminal? [02:04] Hi, anyone here can help me with a new RAID0 installation? [02:04] Bane99, its a folder in the filesystem [02:04] I have a problem with grub [02:04] i'm connecting to a vpn server that seems to affect my routes. you can see here: https://gist.github.com/990377 ... my question is; what should i do after this happens so that *only* traffic from port 80 will be sent through the assigned routes? [02:04] Bane99, you should be able to access them in the file manager. look for the cd/dvd on the left hand side with the disks [02:04] it says the following: 15: (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. [02:04] 58:[ 15461.702] (II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER [02:05] 107:[ 15461.753] (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0) [02:05] sudokill, my home directory? with my name? [02:05] Trfsrfr yes [02:05] with the desktop, documents folder? [02:05] yes [02:05] rationalOgre: a lot of stuff, but nothing that appears to pertain to graphics [02:05] no i do not have that file or folder [02:05] so when i run wine [02:05] go to the terminal [02:05] :? [02:06] Trfsrfr, right click and create new empty file and call it .asoundrc (remember the dot) [02:06] Bane99, wine thats a whole different thing. wine you can configure to give fake letters to the drives so e: can point to /dev/cdrom or the like [02:06] Trfsrfr, if alsamixer didn't find your sound card your in trouble [02:06] okay [02:07] robin0800, i havent located where to locate it yet [02:07] anyone has ubuntu running on a RAID0 array? [02:07] lol [02:07] Trfsrfr, now paste this into it- (from the raw paste data) http://pastebin.com/6FmrwL4B [02:07] does this error "fglrx" cause the logs out? : 107:[ 14.376] (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0) [02:07] what the heck is it? [02:07] i feel like a 6 year old [02:07] Maverick001, that just means you aren't running the ATI drivers [02:07] Maverick001, you're trying to load a graphics driver that doesn't exist [02:08] Trfsrfr, try reboot and see if it works that just uses default card [02:08] night night boys and girls, its bed time here in the Peoples Republic of Cork. [02:08] if it dont work just delete that .asound.conf u made [02:08] goddamn that should be the problem, windows freezed with all the drivers [02:08] www.peoplesreupublicofcork.com :-) [02:08] rationalOgre: any other ideas? [02:08] please! [02:09] sudokill, should I check alsamixer f6 like robin0800 suggested first? [02:09] iFrenzy, you could check that you dont have anything unusual in /etc/X11 [02:09] iFrenzy: Sorry, I'm all out. This is unfortunately beyond my ken. [02:09] Trfsrfr, u can, what do u see when u run alsamixer? [02:09] ok escott [02:09] sigh [02:09] ubuntulo1, also known as http://5z8.info/-OPEN-WEBCAM---START-RECORD--_m3o1ff_-php-deactivate_phishing_filter-48- [02:09] i dont know how to do these command things [02:10] how can i set emerald as the window decorator?, i clicked it in the fusion icon but nothing happens [02:10] escott: what should i be looking for? [02:10] sudokill, robin0800 has suggested that when I run alsamixer and press f6 i can choose my coundcard [02:10] Bane99, it should be in the wine config gui whatever that is [02:10] Trfsrfr, u can but it wont save unless u run a command [02:10] iFrenzy, what kind of video card do you have? [02:10] sudokill, I havent run it yet...still looking for it [02:10] !emerald | kz-man [02:10] kz-man: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [02:11] Trfsrfr, what does it say under "card" when u first run alsamixer [02:11] escott: its an internal intel [02:11] Trfsrfr, you run alsamixer in terminel [02:11] is there a way to load mint inside of windows like wubi?

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [02:12] Trfsrfr, reboot let me know if sound works [02:13] iFrenzy, make sure you don't have an Xorg.conf in /etc/x11 thats the only real suggestion i can give [02:13] ok [02:13] escott: I have an xorg.conf.failsafe in /etc/X11 [02:13] iFrenzy: What did you use to make it so your laptop screen shuts off when you plug in the HDMI? [02:13] sudokill, i might be awhile, my pc hangs on start screen. [02:13] Jordan_U: I installed ubuntu 11.04 on a raid0 array, the installation finished without problems, but after rebooting I get grub rescue and a message saying file not found [02:14] rationalOgre: the display settings, I just set the laptop monitor to off [02:14] Jordan_U: I guess grub is correctly installed in the MBR, but it doesn't find the /boot partition [02:14] iFrenzy, thats unusual, but since its failsafe i wouldn't worry [02:14] acuarium: Mdraid or FakeRAID? [02:14] Trfsrfr, u might be better to reinstall 11.04 [02:14] Jordan_U: Fake Raid (mdadm) [02:14] Trfsrfr, but try it [02:14] whats up everyone [02:14] acuarium, i think you need a /boot that is not raid0. i don't think grub supports stripping the /boot partition [02:15] ryan_, yo dawg [02:15] sudokill, okay, let me restart and see what happens. Thanks. this has taken up to an hour before, so if youre still on, i'll let you know. [02:15] rationalOgre: that's the reason I'm trying to figure out how to just reset the dual display settings so I'll atleast have my laptop screen when I plug in the hdmi so maybe I can tweak the settings and make it work [02:15] iFrenzy: have kinda a crazy idea [02:15] thanks to all, brb [02:15] Trfsrfr, an hour to reboot? [02:15] how can i open cron? [02:15] Open up the display settings [02:15] yeah sometimes more [02:15] Trfsrfr, what? reinstall lol [02:15] escott: Grub does support striping for /boot/, but it shouldn't be needed as the BIOS should be presenting it as a single drive. [02:15] escott: As far as I saw grub2 should handle it [02:15] rationalOgre: and then? lol [02:15] Position your cursor over the ON thing, then plug in the hdmi cable and click your mouse [02:16] Jordan_U: BIOS is not presenting it as a RAID array [02:16] okay, let me see what happens here first. ill be back, hopefully sooner than later. [02:16] acuarium: Can you be on IRC and at the grub rescue shell at the same time (from a different computer)? [02:16] yep [02:16] acuarium: Then it's not FakeRAID. [02:16] rationalOgre: lol I suppose I could try that, if it doesn't work it will probably take me a minute to get back in here [02:16] iFrenzy: ok [02:16] Jordan_U: I was on live usb, rebooting === arleslie_ is now known as arleslie [02:16] Trfsrfr, try rebooting, if sound still dont work just delete the asoundrc file u made [02:16] can some1 point to a channel where I can get some general help with some ubuntu errors with my mouse? I'm new to ubuntu / linux [02:16] Jordan_U: so, sorry I didn't understand the difference :( [02:17] dno if ill be on in an hour [02:17] Jordan_U: I am in grub rescue [02:17] v0l is my bitch!!!!

[02:20] Bane99: In what way does it not happen?

I assume you don't actually have a floppy drive? [02:21] Jordan_U: you assume correctly [02:21] Bane99: "ls /" is it not there? [02:21] Jordan_U: I have one USB with live usb desktop and une USB with live usb alternate [02:21] Bane99, what is media is it a external hard drive [02:22] acuarium: Run "set" to view all environment variables.

Althought there is something about cron in an other log file at that time. My question is that how can i disable that the system won't try to locate the driver for my builtin ati card which cau [02:30] sudokill, cool dude! thanks so much for your time!

[02:37] Verserr: What's the output of ifconfig? [02:38] rationalOgre: it wasnt assigning an IP, so i changed it to static and now it shows an IP for eth0. before that it also had an eth0:avahi [02:38] acuarium: I just realized that you partitioned your raid array rather than making an array of of partitions. This is odd, and is not recommended. [02:39] Jordan_U: right, I partitioned my raid, should I make equal partitions on each hard disk and make a raid0 of each pair of partitions? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:39] has anyone had success connection open-iscsi (ubuntu server installer) to a solaris COMSTAR iscsi host? My ESXi and windows initators see the iscsi target fine but not ubuntu. It wont even discovery [02:40] Verseer: You sure it's not an issue with your router? [02:40] acuarium, you might also want to consider having /boot not be on the raid array. dedicate a gig to it and forget all these issues [02:40] acuarium: Yes, or a common thing is to use LVM on top of the raid array. Why do have multiple partitions? [02:40] Verseer: do you see lights on the router and NIC to show traffic? [02:40] rationalOgre: my router works fine for laptop and xbox. i powercycled router and modem to be sure also [02:41] Ok, just covering bases [02:41] robin0800, I have nothing, zero, nada... [02:41] acuarium: But the main thing is that an array should not be formed from "raw" disks as then there is no place to embed grub, which leaves me wondering how exactly you managed to get it installed in this configuration. [02:41] Jordan_U: Nothing special [02:41] actionparsnip there is no light on router for the port for my pc. on the end the cable is connected it slowly flashes a yellow light [02:41] acuarium: So why not have only one partition? [02:41] actionparnsip the PC end i mean [02:42] Verseer: thats cool. Light means the link is good, tried a different port? [02:42] rationalOgre: do you know the screename of the other guy that was helping me? [02:42] Jordan_U: I made the raid array, and I had one partition that can't be resized, so I created the partitions with fdisk, and after that in the installation told what to mount on each one [02:42] iFrenzy: escott [02:42] escott: it works fine under other user [02:42] Jordan_U: Installed grub in the MBR and the installation process finished without issues [02:43] iFrenzy: That means the setting is in one of your . files [02:43] iFrenzy, since i cant find it anywhere im going to guess it is in gconf you might look in there [02:43] actionparsnip i tried a different port on my router, but only have 1 ethernet on pc [02:43] iFrenzy: may be because of gnome2 settings in gnome3 [02:43] i'm getting: Thu May 26 05:41:03 2011 Note: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: No such file or directory (errno=2) when i try to connect to openvpn server. from 10.04 server. [02:43] acuarium: Why couldn't you resize the partition? Why did you have a partition table on the array to start with? [02:43] Verseer: good enough [02:43] Trfsrfr, if alsa sees nothing then your in trouble because all sound bits are hung on top of that lets see if I can find you a link [02:43] robin0800, thank you, that would be awesome. [02:44] how do i refresh the applet listings for gnome-panel without rebooting? [02:44] actionparsnip ok i looked again and there is no blinking anymoer on pc end [02:44] robin0800, but also did see 3 things. [02:44] Jordan_U: I don't know why, but after creating the array with raw disks it created one single partition [02:44] acuarium: Debian installer allows pretty much any sane configuration of partitions, which means that if there is something you're not able to accomplish within Debian installer it's probably not sane. [02:44] Verseer: got a different cable to test if it is good? [02:44] Jordan_U: I get it [02:44] escott: what would i be looking for in .gonf [02:44] iFrenzy: Found it [02:44] mordof: logging out/back in is the easiest way [02:45] is there a browser that supports ActiveX for ubuntu [02:45] rationalOgre: where?

[02:45] trism: there's no command to update the list :\ it'll be inconvenient to logout and back in at the moment [02:45] Jordan_U: I can start the installer again now, would you guide me with the partition/raid part? [02:45] ~/.gconf/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/xrandr [02:45] (can I in Natty?( [02:45] ) [02:45] iFrenzy, use gconf-editor. otherwise just be looking for anything that might be related to xrandr [02:45] acuarium: Sure. I assume you are using the alternate install CD? [02:45] actionparsnip the strange thing is that both wireless and wired wont work [02:45] Jordan_U: If I can have /home in a separate partition I would prefer it, but not mandatory [02:46] robin0800, thanks. can you tell me how to access what someone put in pastebin? [02:46] Jordan_U: yes, I have both, alternate and desktop [02:46] actionparsnip but my wireless can see the networks [02:46] Jordan_U: Booting with alternate [02:46] actionparsnip and my wired just says 'device not managed' after i chagned it to static, before that it say 'cable disconnected' [02:46] Verseer: is it ok as another user [02:46] hey guys. i have 3 servers. 2 of the three can access a website the other cannot. they all go through the same gateway and have the same dns server. from the one machine that cannot ping the website using its url i can ping the ip address and it will work.. any ideas? [02:47] actionparsnip ill give that a try now [02:47] Doonz: same DNS servers defined in /etc/resolv.conf [02:47] acuarium: Then yes, reboot with the alternate install CD, wipe the drive to start out with, and then I'll help walk you through setting up the RAID. [02:47] Doonz: similar output in: route === evan_ is now known as evan1123 [02:47] Doonz: same os and firewall rules? (cloned machines)?

[02:49] iFrenzy: Look under gnome-session for something about xrandr [02:49] Verseer: ok so we know its the app, not settings [02:49] Jordan_U: done, wiped all config, now I have 2 raw disks [02:49] iFrenzy: the ~/.g* folders hold the settings [02:50] hi, i downloading a .bin file, where do i have to save it to run it in the console? [02:50] ActionParship: You mean like .gconf? [02:51] olvap, anywhere just cd to it [02:51] iFrenzy: exactly [02:51] olvap, what is the file did you look in the repos first. [02:51] iFrenzy: Just open a terminal and type gconf-editor [02:51] robin0800, more thanks. when sudokill told me to copy and paste into the .asoundrc file, I just copied his link and pasted it. not the data from the pastebin file. im a dork i know. im gonna reboot again and see if it changes anything. [02:51] iFrenzy: ou do realize gnome3 isn't supported here [02:51] then edit>find xrandr [02:52] ActionParship: hadn't thought about it [02:52] nit-wit: the file is the sdk tool for extjs 4, [02:53] is anyone having trouble with folding at home on natty? [02:53] rationalOgre: it found 2 one is in /schemas/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/settings-manager-plugins and the other is in /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/settings-manager-plugins [02:53] acuarium: Create a partition table on both disks with a single partition taking up all the available space. [02:54] robin0800: but i like to call it from anywhere, so i could wirte sencha (bin file) if a need [02:54] Jordan_U: Done, each disk has one primary partition taking up all the available space [02:54] Jordan_U: They have a mount point ... [02:54] there is no a folder to that like /usr/bin or something [02:55] iFrenzy: Then they've changed how they store the settings... [02:55] acuarium: For the option of partition type rather than "ext4" or some other filesystem choose raid member (if I'm remembering the interface correctly). [02:55] Jordan_U: Did it again, selecting to not mounting it [02:55] rationalOgre: well I've found the file i suppose so what do i do with it? [02:56] Jordan_U: physical volume for raid? [02:56] olvap, usually whe you download it goes to Downloads so you just cd /Downloads [02:56] iFrenzy: You found the one that sets the monitor stuff? [02:56] If so, rename it. [02:56] rationalOgre: Idk give me a second I'm trying to find it in the file manager [02:57] Jordan_U: Done, selected physical volume for raid [02:57] Jordan_U: non of them has the bootable flag [02:57] iFrenzy: Faster to go to it in the terminal but that may just be for weird people like me. [02:57] acuarium: The boot flag is a windows thing. [02:57] lol [02:57] Jordan_U: :) ok sorry [02:57] Just rename the file to something else and reboot [02:58] the simple-greeter one probably isn't it but it might be. [02:58] acuarium: See if you can figure out how to create a single array from those two partitions on your own. If not I'll fire up a VM so I can look at the interface myself. [02:58] Butt terdz [02:59] Synthbread: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support only, thanks :) [02:59] Jordan_U: I created a md software raid with two partitions [02:59] anyone have trouble with folding at home on natty? [02:59] Jordan_U: with the two partitions, sorry [02:59] acuarium: :) [02:59] Poo balls [02:59] Jordan_U: Now it shows a raid device, with one partition ext4 and 512.0 B unusable [03:00] acuarium: Sounds good. Use that as '/' and I think you can figure out the rest from there. [03:00] what about swap? [03:00] and boot? [03:01] Jordan_U: I guess I made a stupid question about /boot if I teel it to be / it will contain /boot as well [03:01] Unity is actually not too bad once you get used to it [03:01] Jordan_U: but I am not reserving swap space this way [03:03] acuarium: Sorry, I forgot about swap. Do you want your swap to be on RAID? [03:03] Jordan_U: it doesn't matter [03:03] hi all, wonder if someone can help me; I did an upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 server using do-release-upgrade, and the system boots and works, but I dont get a getty on my default virtual console.

[03:07] escott: so just delete it and restart? [03:07] theres no way to test it in Ubuntu? [03:07] on my software center a program called blender is a much older version than what is on their website. how do i update the software center to see if there is a new version availible for install [03:07] test [03:07] iFrenzy, sure... you will lose any customization you made to your gnome apps but you can just removeit [03:07] bonanzaman test good [03:08] escott: like my favorites programs and stuff?

[03:08] bonanzaman np :D [03:08] iFrenzy, just whatever customizations are a in it. like background selection, theme selection, font selection etc [03:09] well i can easily change that back i'll give it a go [03:09] Jordan_U: should I delete the partition and create two, one for / and one for swap? [03:09] Jordan_U: Or I need to create a smaller raid? [03:09] Can someone please reccomend a good NAS? [03:10] use yur ipod as swap [03:11] how do you update the software in software center? [03:11] Anyone know how to run a 32 bit program on 64 bit Ubuntu? [03:11] actionparsnip any other ideas?

[03:13] zachs: why ask on the questions forum, then ask in the support channel? [03:13] Jordan_U: So I will make two raid0 arrays? [03:13] Zachs, may be ndiswrapper [03:14] ActionParsnip: what is the capacity of that SFTP server [03:14] ActionParsnip: well I just want to get a quicker answer? [03:14] Psydoll: as much space as your drives have === prewarkish is now known as kish [03:14] zachs: asking here will get the quickest answer. I also answered it ;) [03:14] acuarium: Sorry, I'm doing a lot of things at once right now. [03:15] using the find command with the -exec what is the syntax if i want to copy all of the files i find to a single folder? [03:15] ActionParsnip: Does this feature show it all as individual drives or does it appear as one big drive, if indivdual can it be made to appear as one large drive? [03:15] Jordan_U: no problem, I was just asking if I will create a swap array as well? [03:16] IdleOne: I have installed ia32-libs. But specifically what do I need to do say if I want to install a program labeled cups.deb which is 32 bit and my ubuntu is 64bit? [03:16] Psydoll: it will appear just as your filesystem does now, with access defined using the UNIX permissions in place, usually users get dropped in their $HOME folders [03:16] zachs, you should install the 64bit version of cups [03:16] robin0800, nothing === kreative is now known as Kreative` [03:16] zachs: install cups from the repository (software center) [03:17] i see [03:17] Psydoll: you can control data storage by enforcing disk quotas [03:17] I renamed my printer driver which had a long filename to cups so its not actaully the program cups [03:17] ActionParsnip: Will I have to use the command line to accesss files? ie ls /media and then finding things manually or does it have a gui? [03:18] apparently Drobo shows up as series of 2tb disks in Linux? should I use LVM or is there something more preferable to make them work as one drive?

[03:19] ActionParsnip: What I mean is are the files in OpenSSH got icons or long lines of text like you see on the command line. [03:20] ActionParsnip: Im very interested in this form of storage [03:20] WINDOW NEW [03:20] or not [03:20] Hi !

[03:28] ActionParsnip: I'm having problems with a getty not being spawned any more on my default virtual terminal [03:28] rudy__: laptop then yes [03:28] rudy__, bad idea [03:28] no [03:28] rudy__: desktop, not so good [03:28] anyone know of the zimbra mail server requires a local dns [03:29] yeah, i said to him it would be a horrible idea [03:29] Qiller: UFW should be installed any Ubuntu derivative, so yes. [03:30] guys question, how can I open a window of the current path from the terminal? i.e. I'm at my ~/Document directory in the terminal and want to open a GUI window for this current path.

I need get a small distro. [03:33] iptables is standrd on most distros [03:33] Qiller: iptables should be available in any Linux distro. Though as I said, the iptables isn't so simple to use. That's why Ubuntu has frontends like ufw [03:33] codege3k; if it is a fresh install run a upxdate.

[03:38] The_Pugilist, in the future when using usermod use the -a option in addition to -G [03:38] is there a way to take this stupid application launcher bar off of 11.04 and just have a normal gnome ui? [03:38] dr_Willis, virtualbox said i had to add myself to the group in order to use USB support [03:38] yeah wurmt0ngue i only used -G [03:38] !classic [03:38] The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. [03:38] wurmt0ngue, choose the classic dektop at the login. [03:39] thank you all for your help :) [03:39] I thought it added users to that group by default. But ha havent used the latest vbox [03:39] 4.0 i believe is what i have [03:39] wurmt0ngue: select gnome classic at logon, you'll get the original desktop [03:39] 4.0.8 as a matter of fact dr_Willis [03:39] The_Pugilist: once you get added to the admin group you can add yourself to other groups [03:40] m4v: can i install ufw into Lubuntu ?

[04:05] i just alttab a lot. :) [04:05] ok [04:05] kaushal, you arrow keys [04:05] play with the gui.. :) [04:06] compiz can be so complex and full of easiallyoverlooked little details [04:06] yeppers [04:07] hiexpo: Thanks [04:07] it worked === jack^_ is now known as jack_^ [04:07] yes its the same for Workspace too [04:07] after pressing super +w you will seeall your windows have shrunk and you can move between them with the arrow keys than enter to select [04:07] its excellent [04:08] Steve132: A normal install should work with a drive that large. You might run into bugs in the installer but I actually think it will handle it without problems. (unless you're asking because you did have problems :) [04:08] hiexpo: any recommended applications for 11.04 [04:08] you can click on one, and drag it to the other workspaces I recall also.. [04:08] you can actually get drives that big? [04:08] kaushal, i don't use 11.04 sorry i use 10.04 lts [04:08] or was that during desktop selection.. :) i forget. [04:09] i basically use Lubuntu these days :) [04:09] dr_Willis, that will move them to differant workstations [04:09] diferent desktoos [04:09] desktops [04:10] yes [04:10] hiexpo: how do i move for example Terminal from one desktop to other ? [04:10] unity can be just to goofy to 'learn by exploring' at times.. [04:10] I mean switch workspaces [04:11] kaushal you can get a layout of all the desktops and you can spome how click/drag to the other workspace. [04:11] dr_Willis: I mean shortcut keys [04:11] thers also compiz options to let you drag windows to the side and change desktops taking the windows with you [04:11] kaushal, you can either just click on it and drag it there or you can right click on it and select move to another workspace [04:11] check ccsm's shortcuts settings. [04:11] not used gnome3 yet but never liked any other desktops think Ill be running in level 3 in the future [04:11] kaushal: super (windows key) S .. then just drag it.. not sure if right mouse clicking the title bar and "Move to" still works. [04:11] theres also some guides/wallpapers out with unity key-shortcuts [04:12] izinucs: I mean able to do with using mouse [04:12] using keypad ? [04:13] i have a big conky running and compiz at boot and am still only using about 250Mbs of ram after boot up [04:13] kaushal: only one command with the keyboard the rest with the mouse.. [04:14] izinucs: lets say i do Super + S and then move one apps from workspace 1 to 2 using shortcut keys ? [04:14] unity seems to push the use of keyboard shortcuts a little too much. [04:14] i wonder if it will ever get more focused on potential tablet ussage. [04:14] kaushal: with the keyboard I don't know.. but you can drag with mouse.. [04:15] izinucs: so there is a slight delay [04:15] kaushal, you do not have to do that just left click mouse and hold it down and drag it [04:15] so instead keyboard are pretty fast [04:15] hiexpo: i did it already and it worked :) [04:16] kaushal: or right mouse click the title bar of the window and "Move to" ..

[04:27] this is the first time i get a vps and i'm not sure how to setup my dns [04:27] i've got hyper cp and Kloxo cp running [04:27] websiteguy you have a cp such as Plesk ? [04:27] !VPS [04:27] * cheapie wonders what a VPS is... Maybe I'm not the best person to help with that... [04:28] iFrenzy: I am [04:28] i wonder at teh varity of vps's and how this channel cen even hope to support them all. [04:28] rationalOgre: this is weird, I have 3 hdmi ports on my tv, I moved it to the second port and now it works [04:28] hallo [04:28] do i just add a dns templet ? [04:29] iFrenzy: i have a hdmi/dvi port for my tv to use wih the pc. [04:29] !bind | websiteguy [04:29] ? [04:29] bind ? [04:29] is the dns service [04:29] heheheh [04:29] '~$ aptitude why tsclient; i ubuntu-desktop Recommends tsclient'.Why does ubuntu-desktop recommend tsclient? [04:29] dr_willis: I have 3, but when i plug it into 1 i get a black screen was having problems with it all night [04:29] OK. I have a few questions. Question 1: How do I make VirtualBox stop eating my partition tables? [04:30] iFrenzy: Confusing. I vaguely remember hearing that HDMI had some type of encryption scheme with it. I wonder if each port identifies uniquely. [04:30] all i see is add dns templet [04:30] thats it [04:30] vbox shouldent reallybe used to access real pysical hard drives. the docs give big warnings about it. [04:30] That or it was different enough that ubuntu decided it was a new 'screen' === grrizd73 is now known as grrizd72 [04:31] rationalOgre: I just plugged it back into the first one and now that one works too [04:31] dr_Willis: OK. That explains that. Now, question 2: How do I make a particular hard drive always get a certain device name (sda, sdb, etc.)? [04:31] Is there another way to tell what version of ubuntu you are using other than "cat /etc/issue" ? [04:31] rationalOgre: anyway though man Thanks for the help, my wife wants to see the new pirates movie so we're going to go watch that and hopefully I can have a little fun haha [04:32] cheapie use expandable storage for the hd instead of fixed size then it will only use what is stored [04:32] =\ [04:32] Herbs: ...what? [04:32] use the fstab and device UUID or label - and the /dev/sdXX wouldent matter [04:32] for virtualbox when you create the hd for the vm [04:32] !mint [04:32] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org === rkdjfdkjf is now known as m00se [04:33] dr_Willis: Is there a way to use the device UUID with VBox raw disk access? [04:33] i would have to say - check the vbox manual. [04:33] cheapie never mind miss read what you asked [04:33] * lefty|afk is back (gone 05:39:05) [04:33] I never use raw disk access for real hds [04:34] I followed the upgrade instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Intrepid and the upgrade happened.. and I rebooted... but /etc/issue still says it's 8.10 [04:34] Okay can someone help me real quick!? I got my HP Pavillion on ubuntu but I need the wireless drivers so I can connect to the Internet [04:34] dr_Willis: In that case, question 3: Is it possible to make update-grub not probe a specific disk? It takes forever to probe my Seagate ST-157A-1. === Jasonn is now known as JasonnAWAY [04:34] Okay can someone help me real quick!? I got my HP Pavillion on ubuntu but I need the wireless drivers so I can connect to the Internet I just want the command to get the drivers [04:35] lefty|afk: What kind of wireless card? [04:35] !wireless [04:35] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:35] rationalOgre, fuck idk [04:35] !language | lefty|afk [04:35] lefty|afk: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [04:35] sorry [04:35] :D [04:35] but rationalOgre i don't know [04:36] lefty|afk: know how to run a terminal? [04:36] Yeah partly [04:36] i had installed ubuntu on my netbook [04:36] ok. USB or builtin wifi card? [04:36] builtin [04:36] rationalOgre, built in [04:37] open a terminal and type (without quotes) "lspci | grep wireless" [04:37] lefty|afk: Step 1: Smash your computer. Step 2: Find the wireless NIC. Step 3: Find what model it is. Step 4: Build a time machine. Step 5: Travel back in time to when your computer is un-smashed. [04:37] cheapie, lol [04:37] rationalOgre, ok lemme do it on the other computer [04:38] lefty|afk: actually "lspci | grep -i wireless" might be better [04:38] pr lspci | grep Ethernet [04:38] Now, will anybody help me with my update-grub issues? [04:38] or* [04:38] lshw -C network [04:39] rationalOgre, I can't find the terminal [04:39] cheapie: I'm not sure, but if you remove its entry in /boot/grub/device.map it may no longer probe it [04:39] lefty|afk: Applications > Accesories > Terminal [04:39] aha ok [04:40] rationalOgre, sudo 1st right ?\ [04:40] geeksmith: It's sort of hard to remove a line from a nonexistent file. [04:40] lefty|afk: Naw, you can run this without sudo [04:40] you dont need sudo for lspci [04:40] Is there a way to reduce the Ubuntu menu (Applications, Places,System) so it only displays as a single icon to click and splits off to those menus only after clicked? [04:40] anyone is familiar with checkinstall here? am i supposed to export the new bin path everytime i install with checkinstall? [04:40] though if you do lshw you may need to run sudo first [04:40] rationalOgre, nothing comes up [04:41] try | grep Ethernet lefty|afk [04:41] amero, yes what about checkinstall [04:41] lefty|afk: Did you run the second command I gave? "lspci | grep -i wireless" [04:41] my wireless adapter only shows up using Ethernet [04:41] rationalOgre, yes [04:41] Herbs: Interesting. Never seen that before. [04:42] hiexpo: ./usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx [04:42] lefty|afk: then use this "lshw -C network | less" [04:42] amero, what [04:43] ascheel: add "Main menu" to the panel [04:43] Logan_: trying now, thank you. [04:43] Look for "description: Wireless interface" [04:43] no problem [04:43] rationalOgre, got broadcom [04:43] Logan_: You are awesome... [04:44] lefty|afk: Yuck. You're in for fun. [04:44] and that means ? [04:44] ascheel: :) [04:44] hehe [04:44] hiexpo: why it places the bin in it's own dir name? [04:44] cheapie: you could make one with "sudo grub-mkdevicemap", but like I said I'm not sure this file determines which drives get probed [04:44] rationalOgre, that means ? [04:44] Logan_: That makes a netbook SO much more usable. [04:44] lefty|afk: It means broadcom wireless adapters are notorious for having bad support on Ubuntu (and linux in general) [04:44] amero, are you talking about checkinstall [04:44] ascheel: haha, glad to hear it :) [04:45] hiexpo: ofc [04:45] ? [04:45] lefty|afk: Your easiest method is going to be to learn how to use ndiswrapper and run the windows drivers in linux. === nick is now known as Guest36372 [04:45] rationalOgre, i had the netbook that im using now have the same issue [04:45] but then i installed a driver and it apparently worked [04:45] lefty|afk: There is a light at the end of the tunnel, but it might be a train. Check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185174 [04:45] lefty|afk: sometimes it does, it's a crapshoot. [04:46] rationalOgre, what does that mean ? [04:46] yep that light may be a train > wreck [04:46] geeksmith: I think you just accidentally solved a different problem (about the drives changing places). I'll see if VBox likes "/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Seagate_Technology_ST157A_29087998". [04:47] rationalOgre, what does that mean ? [04:47] rationalOgre, what does that mean ? [04:48] lefty|afk: he means that setting up Broadcom wireless setups is a PITA [04:48] cheapie: I don't know if that means I'm really good or really ungood, but I hope it helps in some way! [04:48] ascheel, thanks [04:48] lefty|afk: It means you're going to have alot of difficulty getting the wireless to work easily. [04:48] Or really at all. [04:48] lol @ accidental soln [04:49] means go to ebay and order a alfausb card [04:49] lefty|afk: Just start googling for "ubuntu (your version number here) broadcom wireless setup" [04:49] geeksmith: Yep. VBox likes it! Now I won't end up with my installation of Ubuntu trying to run inside of itself every time I reboot. [04:49] ps [04:50] geeksmith: Also, back when I had to mess with the VMDK file to make it work, VBox liked to eat my partition tables. Hopefully it won't do that now. [04:50] lefty|afk: There is a how-to on ndiswrapper with broadcom here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185174 === oden_ is now known as Guest58413 [04:52] cheapie: awesome! I'm not sure why this file wasn't already there. I assume that making a device map would be part of the standard install, but sounds like you're on the right track now. Does its existence prevent the drive probing? [04:52] i give up for the night... [04:53] Is there a tool in the repos that I can break apart a multi page scan that ended up in a gif file? after that I can use convert to move them to a pdf [04:53] geeksmith, rationalOgre ; thanks for the help but I have to call it a night ! thanks though I will come tomorrow or another day [04:53] izinucs: imagemagic maybe [04:53] geeksmith: Nope. It doesn't seem to be taking as long now though. I can live with it now, as it only takes a few seconds after I created and edited the device map. Also, it sees the OS on my ST-157A-1 now. However, that drive is on a controller card with no BIOS, so it can't be booted normally. I'm going to see if GRUB will boot it. I'll be right back. [04:54] ActionParsnip: convert is part of that.. but .. well... I don't know.. I'll google IM [04:55] izinucs: you could use gimp to cut it up [04:57] geeksmith: Well, the GRUB menu broke now. [04:58] izinucs, whatwas it a printed web page [04:58] Anyone know where I can get http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty-proposed/main/dist-upgrader-all/0.111.8/jaunty.tar.gz ? the original is 404... need it to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 [04:59] ccd: Have you checked the old releases server? [04:59] geeksmith: Hello? [04:59] cheapie, poking around now... [04:59] !eol [04:59] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [04:59] my unity bar crashed today on 2 different machines [04:59] cheapie: how so? [04:59] cheapie: did you run "update-grub" after making the device map? [05:00] ccd: I recommend you use the alternate ISO and you should be ok [05:00] at first the icons disappeared, so I logged out then back in and the bar itself is gone [05:00] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ dies not even have a jaunty folder.... [05:00] geeksmith: My monitor says "Frequency out of range". I'm running Oneiric, if that helps. As for update-grub, yes, I ran that. [05:01] ActionParsnip, to go from 8.10 to 9.04? [05:01] cheapie: Sounds like X was set to use a frequency which is higher than your monitor supports? [05:01] hiexpo: no it was a scan to gif.. PITA if you know what I mean. [05:01] Diamondcite: I'm talking about the GRUB menu. [05:01] is startup applications available in 11.04 ? [05:02] '~$ aptitude why tsclient; i ubuntu-desktop Recommends tsclient'.Why does ubuntu-desktop recommend tsclient? [05:02] geeksmith: saving each layer as a separate file? [05:02] cheapie: Err sorry.. how about the vga= option? [05:02] kaushal, yes [05:02] Diamondcite: It worked fine until a power surge fried my video card and I had to switch to integrated video. [05:02] cheapie: that's bizarre...making a device map simply identifies the drives for convenience sake [05:02] nit-wit: ok [05:02] Diamondcite: vga= option to what? === kockstand is now known as vertigeaux [05:02] izinucs: you could do it that way, or create new image files with the desired size, then paste the relevant chunks into the new files [05:03] nit-wit: please guide ? [05:03] cheapie: I believe it sets the graphical display method for grub if it had to do any graphics.. [05:03] I have installed google desktop on 11.04 How do i make it available after bootup ? [05:03] Diamondcite: I can't even see the GRUB menu... [05:03] geeksmith: I've got about 30 pages to go through.. that sounds tedious.. I'm hoping to find a faster option to break them apart [05:04] wow is it just me or is us.archive.ubuntu.com in the repos (natty) slow as hell -- my connection is fine everywhere else [05:04] kaushal, I'm in oneiric right now can't seem to find it here, I'm sure iot is natty though. [05:04] *t [05:04] *it [05:04] cheapie: in /etc/default/grub do you have an entry for GRUB_GFXMODE ? [05:04] google desktop is just the fancy google widgits right? [05:05] izinucs: you're right, it's a bit tedious. Layers would work, but I'm no gimp expert. Maybe somebody else has a more automated way to do it. [05:06] sometimes i'm pulling 15kB/s, sometimes 300kB/s (very rarely), but mainly ~500B/s === Fishman12a is now known as FishFace [05:06] geeksmith: Yes, but commented. (#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480) [05:06] cheapie: or in /boot/grub/grub.cfg any lines that say vga= ? [05:06] you do not normally edit grub.cfg byhand. [05:07] Shizzle nizzle telefizzle [05:07] ubuntu.com is not coming up for me [05:07] dr_Willis: right, but you can grep it by hand to see the derived file ;~) [05:07] cheapie: Even if you hold down shift button while booting up you dont see it? [05:07] FishFace: Nope. [05:07] :o\ [05:07] is ubuntu.com down for everyone or is it just me [05:08] FishFace: It tries to show it, but fails. [05:08] DrManhattan: its coming up for me, but the repos for me are slow as hellllll [05:08] wtf [05:08] hi, DrManhattan [05:08] kaushal, I switched back to natty you find t it the mean time/ === Jens is now known as Guest14531 [05:08] *it in [05:08] hi mrdeb - have we met? === ferret__ is now known as ferret_ [05:09] DrManhattan: The connection timed out when I tried to access it.

Should I try it now? [05:09] * geeksmith is going to help put kids down for bed...g'night, all! [05:10] something up w/ ubuntu apt servers? [05:10] so what is the long term support release of ubuntu 10? [05:10] DrManhattan: two year cycle [05:10] no freenode [05:10] gnome 3 and unity are both a disaster for me [05:10] ive rarely had grub issues. :) but i have taught my self lilo, syslinux, grub1 and grub2 over the yeras.. [05:10] wow, empathy sucks for irc :P [05:11] yup [05:11] mrdeb, i meant 10.04 10.10. what === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:11] !classic | DrManhattan [05:11] DrManhattan: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. [05:11] pidgin is good or i like xchat myself === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest2671 [05:12] yeah I didn't have such good results with 11.04 [05:12] is Ubuntu classic REALLY gnome 2?

[05:34] <_dwbear75> dr_Willis: ATI radeon, I want extended display -- I need to see more [05:34] _dwbear75: you proberly want to extend.. not seperate X displayts [05:34] GrouchySmurf: no, haven't that article in russian i found [05:35] if you want one wide wide desktop that is.. [05:35] I was only asking because in the past kernel updates have required reinstalation of gfx drivers but wont be needed if you havent updated the kernel [05:35] packard bell laptop and 11.04 don't work touch scroll [05:35] <_dwbear75> dr_Willis: yes, extended single desktop on two screens [05:35] i reset my bios before this its been acting up [05:35] i used the jumper and i couldnt even boot with 2 sticks of ram [05:36] I'm installing ubuntu on a new thinkpad.

[05:37] _dwbear75: I think your problem may be better addressed by the Xorg team, subscribe to the mailing list xorg@freedesktop.org, you can also address your issue through http://www.x.org/wiki/ [05:37] i tried all the iso's on ubuntu.com [05:37] dr_Willis: Amazon S3 service. [05:37] jmcantrell: There's some sort of doodad to mount amazon storage as a drive... fusion something? [05:37] and i got stuck with 8.04 and i accidently chose 32 bit instead of 64 bit [05:37] and personally i think its running slower, now i have no sound and in the video test i couldnt see the static or w/e [05:38] jmcantrell: Fuse. [05:38] puff: i assume you're talking about s3fs? [05:38] jmcantrell: ode.google.com/p/s3fs/wiki/FuseOverAmazon [05:38] meh. no ppa [05:39] _dwbear75: I think your problem may be better addressed by the Xorg team, subscribe to the mailing list xorg@freedesktop.org, you can also address your issue through http://www.x.org/wiki/ [05:39] HLP packard bell laptop and 11.04 don't work touch scroll [05:40] is there something weird going on with the apt repos? === idle is now known as Guest27266 === maco2 is now known as maco [05:41] j3r0m3, apparently so.

Thanks! [05:44] this one [05:45] ya it sucks, well I live in one of the only parts that has no terrible weather(flash floods, tornados, earthquakes) except for snow and the cold. :( === bildramer is now known as 64MAAJ7Z9 [05:45] rww: isn't thunderstorm affecting the download speed of ubuntu considered relevent? [05:45] littlebearz: no [05:46] what are the possible sources of a networking problem when using internet in a windows 7 os is possible, but in Ubuntu natty you can only access google? [05:46] chek your dns server settings [05:47] superproxy: only google? dns to 8.8.8.8? [05:47] google could be getting cached for some reason. [05:47] Hmm [05:48] i wonder how only one site would have its dns cached.. time to do some ping tests [05:48] why does it work on windows pure dhcp, when it can't work on ubuntu also dhcp? [05:48] i got another question, i downloaded the 32 bit iso and i am going to update it [05:48] but i am on a 64 bit, will it be okay to update? or should i download the 64 bit one [05:48] Id suspect that windows is caching dns [05:48] hi, why ar my ssh connections so slow ? [05:48] it take 2-3 seconds each time [05:49] also i'm using windows right now [05:49] 2-3 sec to do what ecxactly [05:49] to answer betwwenn the connection and the password question [05:49] is it okay to run 64 bit computers on 32 bit ubuntu [05:49] 32it os should work find on a 64bit hardware [05:50] ubuser: it would work fine unless you have more than 4gbs of ram in which case you couldn't utilize all your ram [05:50] 64bit os wont work on a 32bit hardware [05:50] superproxy: check you have not seeing the cache, after that, check you have connected your cable to the card, after that, check you have the port open, after that, check you have a rule in your firewall for addressing traffic through the 80 port, after that check you are reaching the dns and the gateway, after that, if no one thing works, you can take a gun and kill a) your computer, b) your modem [05:50] !pae | iFrenzy ubuser [05:50] iFrenzy ubuser: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [05:50] I try to use 64bit os whnever the hardware supports it [05:50] i did i have 4 gigs, the max is 3 gigs, i already fixed that, i jus cant get the video working [05:50] ubuser, you can't run 64 bit on a 32 bit computer, also 8.o4 is end of life. [05:50] What are some possible reasons a device might not be mountable? [05:50] so if i update, it will probably fix my sound and stuff? [05:50] I can see a device in gparted [05:50] ubuser: like what sort of video? [05:51] steve132 whats the file system [05:51] my 256 meg video card isnt showing up i couldnt see the static in the hardware test [05:51] but I can't seem to get any partitions on it to mount...the "mount point" field just doesn't exist [05:51] a device not getting seen by the bios/kernel/drivers.. is a differnt issue then a device not being mountable. :) [05:51] the hard driv could be dead. [05:51] I did ext4 at first [05:52] so if i update my video might be fixed?? or am i havin some different problem? [05:52] is it ext4 though? [05:52] Somebody run ubuntu with 8 GB RAM [05:52] hard drives failing. can have very weird issues.. or be flakey.. then work.. then die... [05:52] ? [05:52] ubuser: you could try it [05:52] i got 4 gigs [05:52] hi [05:52] pae ftw [05:52] dr_Willis: if you are talking to me, A) its brand new B) I can see it just fine there just aren't any options in the GUI to mount anything [05:52] leander__: hi [05:52] Herbs: When I made an ext4 partition,no, it did not mount [05:52] rww: did i some how get blocked in #ubuntu-offtopic? [05:53] steve132 you did partion and format the filesystmesd? try mounting it by hand [05:53] i clicked the update manager and it is showing a nvidia driver, but when i enable it, my resolution changes to 800x600 [05:53] i have a wierd problem my fans seems to be off or running too slow does unistalling acpi will solve this [05:53] steve132 how did you try to mount it? have you tried mount -t ext4 /dev/sd* /mountpoint ? [05:53] so after it is formatted,try mounting it by hand? [05:53] ubuser you then use the nvidia-settings tool to set the res you want. [05:53] thats max [05:53] I tried just using gparted to set the mount point and there aren't any options to do it [05:53] herbs: check you have the partition declared at /etc/fstab with the right setting for mounting the ext4 partition [05:54] dont use gparted.. mount it by hand.. or make a fstab entry [05:54] ok [05:54] !mount [05:54] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [05:54] /etc/fstab will mount automatically you dont need an entry otherwise [05:54] ubuser: you may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig [05:54] gparted does not as far as i know - alter your fstab file [05:54] thank you. I'll try that. Due to something strange I'll have to leave to try it [05:54] !who [05:54] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [05:54] not found, after i enable that?

[05:58] guglu: what does it do like do you get to the login screen [05:58] I am totally new to linux. I've just istalled natty N. from a CD. The screen is almost (and I mean almost) black. Using a flashlight I can make out symbols and "ubuntu" [05:58] anyone know how i can fix sound too? [05:58] no login screen [05:58] wait, let me explain [05:58] ubuser: run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current and it will install the driver [05:59] ubuser: I had a problem with my soudn earlier and reset the computer and that fixed it, it was weird [05:59] chandler12304: would this happen to be on a laptop? [05:59] iFrenzy: pulse probably fell over [05:59] ill download current after i restart, do u know how i can fix sound?

I booted it from a CD, the moment I punched "install" it went black [06:02] ubuser: fix sound can be fixed by cheking: a) Your sound hardware is support by any ALSA, OSS or by any driver your vendor provides, you can also enable sound support by recompiling your kernel [06:02] iFrenzy: yes, it is restarting the system [06:02] chandler12304: I may have missed it, but is this on a laptop? [06:02] Herbs: it is not a prompt, i cannot execute any command [06:02] just normal terminal like black screen, dont know what it is called [06:02] i also choose recovery mode from the GRUB but same thing (just few more extra lines :( ) [06:03] guglu: it is called "this shit can't work" [06:03] guglu: *never* interrupt fsck.

[06:11] im pretty sure they took that option you are looking for out when they made 11.04 [06:11] nit-wit: no, yahoo chats [06:11] but anyway, i need to fix this asap, or else i am in serious trouble please [06:11] imikey, maybe its becoz im using gnome classic? i dont like the unity so i installed gnome desktop environment and chose ubuntu classic when logging on [06:11] nkh: ubuntu is secure you probably gave up your password on the internet somewhere [06:11] your drivers should be supported by a default install [06:11] rww: I'm not sure if you can see me in #ubuntu-offtopic, but it is tomorrow where I'm at [06:11] guglu how many entries are there in grub any earlier kernels? [06:12] 5 entries [06:12] iFrenzy: I don't think so , It's very Strong and i change it time by time ! [06:12] gnome classic would be the place to go to do things like that [06:12] ubuntu, ubuntu recover mode, memtest, memtest something, windows [06:12] guglu try one of the older kernels [06:12] Herbs: [06:12] imikey, so the visual tab settings is gone in 11.04? how to enable extra animation then [06:12] i dont know what that means :( [06:12] guglu: possibly your BIOS isn't well supported and it may represent a bug with fsck... try to use an interactive startup [06:12] guglu ah ok [06:12] try downloading compiz fusion [06:12] imikey, ok i'll try [06:13] iFrenzy: so you mean we have nothing to do with ubuntu after default instalation to secure it more ? [06:13] hello, my messages are goin ? [06:13] rww: lol so let me get this straight, you banned me from a chat room because I ask a question and you give me an attitude about it? I'm not starting anything else, I just want clarification. [06:13] guglu: fsck is an utility that checks the disk drives when booting [06:13] no more ideas? craaaaaaap!!!!! [06:13] iFrenzy: please drop by #ubuntu-ops if you want to have this conversation. [06:13] WhoAmIHere: so what should i do now ? [06:14] guglu Im mainly a Red hat based and slackware user but if someone can tell the alternate to modifying the boot to rw, init=/bin/sh for ubuntu you could try that [06:14] i will try running windows and see [06:14] rww: still on freenode? [06:14] iFrenzy: yes, on freenode [06:14] iFrenzy: I remember that once some one had a test (nessuse? or something like this!) on my laptop and he said that it's security is awful ! :D [06:14] i see, but no commands are executing [06:14] but i will try running windows and see whether that runs or not, brb [06:14] guglu no from grub press e to modify the boot command [06:15] guglu but I believe that doesent work on ubuntu [06:15] Jordan_U: Thank you for your help. [06:16] bullgard4: You're welcome. [06:16] ok .. I'll try again: I am totally new to linux. I've just istalled natty N. from a CD. The screen is almost (and I mean almost) black. Using a flashlight I can make out symbols and "ubuntu" [06:16] chandler12304, you get the grub menu correct? [06:17] Herbs: WhoAmIHere windows is working fine, can i do something from there to fix the issue ? [06:17] is it laptop? [06:17] Herbs: i will try that now [06:17] dr_Willis, Okay I know the pot now ....At FF select Manual Proxy settings ...then ? http proxy? & use http://127.0.0.1 ?? [06:17] guglu ok but I think the syntax is different on ubuntu I rarely use it tbh [06:17] No Idea ... I can start the grub (using my flashlight), but i don't know what to do next [06:18] dr_Willis, port* [06:18] chandler12304, on live CD was ok? === semitones_dj is now known as semitones [06:18] guglu as for windows dont have a clue I never use it other than gaming [06:18] imikey, i already installed comiz fusion how to open it? [06:18] john_rambo: i would check the squid docs.. its not too hard to confiure. ip# and port. [06:19] Herbs: i pressed e [06:19] and it shows some text [06:19] Live CD gives me the black screen too [06:19] i dont understand that honestly [06:19] thers proberly firefox extensoons to enable/disable squid [06:19] i can delete, write more text there [06:19] guglu ok at the end put a space then type init=/bin/sh [06:19] dr_Willis, Please [06:19] chandler12304, how did U installed it? :D [06:19] please what? you want me to read the squid docs to you? Im no teven on a pc right now.] [06:19] from a CD if that's what you're asking [06:20] a space at the end, are you sure ? or do you want me to write that on a new line , Herbs ? [06:20] guglu a space at the end of the string [06:20] there are many lines [06:20] Does anyone here have any experience with Joli OS [06:20] satsat: brb [06:20] ? [06:21] Vustom: its offtopic here, this is ubuntu support only [06:21] guglu like I said Ive only done this with red hat based distros I believe its a diff syntax on ubuntu but if theres 3 lines I think it will be the 2nd [06:21] grub gives me four lines 1. linus 2. linus recovery and two memory test... what do i do now? [06:21] vustom it works. :) its weird.. and not oficially supported here. [06:22] Vustom: Jolicloud? [06:22] Herbs: would you like me to write the lines and pastebin ? [06:22] guglu yes please [06:22] Joilcould is now known as Joli OS - based on one of the older releases of ubuntu. [06:22] ok, one second [06:22] guglu I will try in a vm while you do it [06:23] ah, name change. [06:23] grub gives me four lines 1. linus 2. linus recovery and two memory test... what do i do now? [06:23] hi, is there a utility to make swf banner for ubuntu? [06:23] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onxWT8rIRE8&feature=related [06:23] Yeah, I went on their IRC but theres only afk people there, I'll ask away but If I get no reply it's okay, I've got the Joli OS on a ISO but theres 3 options when it boots to the install screen, first one being "Use Joli OS without Installation" then "Install Joli OS" then "Help" but heres the problem, at that point my keyboard doesn't work, can't press TAB to select Install Joli OS :/ [06:24] imikey, ok thanks ill check it [06:24] vustom i found Jolios support rather lacking... either it works.. or it dosent it seems [06:24] my fans arent working [06:24] Hm, I might just try and install Ubuntu on the old PC instead. ^_^ [06:24] vustom unplug/plug in the keyboard. or try a ps2 keyboard perhaps [06:25] I am totally new to linux. I've just istalled natty N. from a CD. The screen is almost (and I mean almost) black. Using a flashlight I can make out symbols and "ubuntu" I can start the grub (using my flashlight), but i don't know what to do next [06:25] I dident find JoliOS that impressive.. and lacking in ways. its hard for them to 'support' all the 'old' pc's they are trying to target. [06:25] What's a PS2 keyboard? [06:25] Vustom: will it boot the default if you do not select anything? [06:25] PS2 or USB.. round plug .. :) old skool [06:26] -.- [06:26] hi, how do i theme nautilus's sidebar. im trying to set a background in gconf-editor but nothing happens.. could my theme be overwriting this? [06:26] I don't think I have one of those.. [06:26] I have seen pc;s that grub dont work right with.. when using a USB keyboard [06:26] chandler12304, do y9u have a external monitor you can plug in? [06:26] guglu ok I just did it on a Debian box its at the end of the line pointing to the /boot image [06:26] chandler12304: wow thats terrible [06:26] yes, i was writing Herbs [06:26] no external available [06:26] ps2 keyboards rock :) [06:26] Hm, I suppose theres no way to edit the ISO and change change the menu options. :p [06:26] thanks for your pity [06:26] last line is something like initrd /boot/initrd.img-x..x.x.-generic , Herbs [06:26] !remaster | Vustom [06:26] Vustom: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [06:27] does your laptop have a svideo port tvout? [06:27] vustom you could make a live flash drivce.. and do some changes [06:27] guglu thats the one you need to add it to the end of [06:27] Vustom: if you change it to a bootable usb you can, or you can remaster and reburn the USB, but that is more work :P [06:27] chandler12304: does your laptop have an svideo port tvout? [06:27] so like initrd /boot/initrd.img-x..x.x.-generic init=/bin/sh, Herbs ? [06:27] guglu no sorry 1 sec [06:27] also please tell me how would i save [06:27] I don't even know what that is or looks like [06:28] Anybody willing to show me how? I have the .ISO in a folder and a spare USB/CD [06:28] guglu where its points to /boot/vmlinuz-*** [06:28] chandler12304, your problem is unusual it did have no screen back-light to begin with but yet you installed anyway. Have you any other live cd"s of other distros to confirm the screen works? [06:28] Vustom: install unetbootin and use that, be sure to MD5 test the ISO [06:28] vustom remasering the iso is not trivial. and you dont even know what you want to change do you? easiest way is to make a bootable flash drive. [06:28] chandler12304: what are you typing from right now another laptop or a desktop? [06:28] the scrren works GRUB looks normal [06:28] According to Ikhaya Oneiric UDS recommends to priorize Thunderbird for Evolution. What is the reason? [06:28] What's a bootable flash drive.. -.- [06:28] chandler12304: have you tried using the function keys for brightness [06:28] right now from a netbook [06:29] A USB with the .ISO in it? [06:29] chandler12304: assuming its a laptop [06:29] Vustom: a usb stick or SD card with a bootable system on [06:29] chandler12304, to see grub you need the flashlight correct? [06:29] What do I put on the USB then? [06:29] yes, function keys don't work [06:29] hi, how do i theme nautilus's sidebar. im trying to set a background in gconf-editor but nothing happens.. could my theme be overwriting this? [06:29] vustom - the proram unetbootin was mentioned earlier [06:29] Vustom: its not the ISO, its some files from the ISO as well as extra boot infp [06:29] No, grub works whitout the flash [06:29] Vustom: if you arent going to read the advice given, why bother asking for it? [06:30] Hello [06:30] Herbs: it is linux /boot/vmlinuz-***-generic root=UUID=some_serial_key\b04-some_serial_key ro single [06:30] chandler12304: what kind of graphics do you have in the laptop [06:30] guglu yup thats the line you add it to the end of [06:30] I did read it.. just confused. [06:30] so ro single init=/bin/sh , right Herbs ? [06:30] Vustom: install unetbootin and run it, its childishly simple [06:30] guglu yup [06:30] chandler12304: what kind of graphics do you have in the laptop ???? What exactly do you mean [06:30] chandler12304, whenI asked you earlier you said no, chose the recovery line and boot at the gui choose the faixsafe x boot [06:30] ok, one sec and how to save ? [06:30] the Pendrivelinux web site - also has alternatives to Unetbootin [06:31] Is this to install Joli OS or Ubuntu? [06:31] guglu was ctrl x on Debian its enter on CentOS and Red Hat [06:31] Herbs: how to save then ? [06:31] chandler12304: ati nvidia intel [06:31] ok [06:31] guglu never done it on ubuntu === himcesjf_ is now known as himcesjf [06:31] recovery line ...and then? === Da|Mummy is now known as haladur [06:32] Herbs: init=/bin/bash would be ok ? [06:32] chandler12304, hit boot at the gui that comes up choose the safe boot 4th or 5th line down. [06:32] Vustom: is this what you are needing? http://help.jolicloud.com/entries/231051-creating-a-jolicloud-usb-key-guide === haladur is now known as Da|Mummy [06:32] guglu should be [06:32] ok, lemme ttry [06:32] failsafx? (now i am using the flashlight again) [06:32] Herbs: yes, it loaded bash [06:32] chandler12304, it is a safe graphics it may get you in, to look for a graphics driver [06:32] after ctrl x [06:33] I have the Joli OS .ISO on a CD.. but I'll try this as well? [06:33] guglu ok try /sbin/fsck -y [06:33] hello, are my messages going ? [06:33] ok [06:33] i cant connect to the Ubuntu One service, help? [06:33] Vustom: the unetbootin will work in that software]# [06:33] Vustom: yeah, it makes it easier for you to modify the grub configuration if it will boot on a usb [06:33] how to delete multiple files within a directory recursively(subdir too) with a specific extension .. eg. all .pyc files [06:33] Herbs: just gave 3 msgs and ended [06:33] :( [06:34] Okay... now it says "ubuntu is running on low graphic settings" (not exactly those words... I'm translating from German) [06:34] guglu what where the msgs the fsck completed? [06:34] one sec, lemme write [06:34] dr_Willis, Its working !!!!! [06:34] chandler12304, correct but you have a back light right? [06:35] how to delete multiple files within a directory recursively(subdir too) with a specific extension? .. eg. all .pyc files [06:35] nope ... It's still me and my flashlight [06:35] I'm not sure what to change but one wouldn't think it'd not be hard to make the second option of the start screen (looks like grub) the first option? [06:35] dr_Willis, Now how do I apply it system wide ? Using Xubuntu 10.04 [06:35] Vustom: if you are asking stuff like that, I suggest you do some research [06:35] sam_sam: find path/to/directory -name *.pyc -delete [06:35] no idea john_rambo - squid is a http proxy/cache - it dosent make sence to apply it to every app. just browsers [06:36] chandler12304, I would try another live cd this is going nowhere it has not worked since you booted the install cd [06:36] sam_sam: if you want to look in the current directory, path/to/directory would be "." [06:36] !proxy [06:36] Several Ubuntu channels prohibit access from open proxies and other anonymous connections due to a high level of abuse. The supported ways to hide your IP address on freenode are to use !Tor or get a !cloak [06:36] rww:ty =) [06:36] wrong factoid [06:36] dr_Willis: I don't think we have a factoid for setting up proxy servers. I looked when I wrote that one :) [06:36] damn it!!! [06:37] hi, is there a utility to make swf banners in ubuntu? [06:38] !tor [06:38] Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is not in Ubuntu's repositories. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl [06:38] great....I don't have another live-CD [06:38] sam_sam: something like command `find . -name "*.pyc"` i think, run it with ls instead of rm first to make sure i didnt mess it up badly... (and can someone please check that plz?) [06:38] does anyone use wbar? [06:38] superfirelord42: you can use -iname to make it case insensitive ;) [06:38] Herbs: you there ? [06:39] guglu yup [06:39] herhttp://pastie.org/private/qqyreu0sqvw9i11zg1twwa [06:39] Herbs: http://pastie.org/private/qqyreu0sqvw9i11zg1twwa [06:39] ActionParsnip: interesting, didnt know that, thanks xD [06:39] superfirelord42: sharing the love <3 [06:39] i cant connect to the Ubuntu One service, help? [06:40] there is the #ubuntuone channel nicekiwi [06:40] guglu ok the file system is fine however Id check the time in your bios is correct [06:40] chandler12304, you could try upadating by choosing the command rootnet line in that recovery gui and running sudo apt-get update && sudo aptget upgrade. then reboot and see if you have a back light. [06:41] Herbs: could you guide me regarding that please ? [06:41] chandler12304, you have to be plugged in wuth ether net to updtae [06:41] guglu should be del on post [06:41] sorry ? del on post ? [06:41] guglu when you restart the box the first screen that displays should tell you what to press to enter setup [06:42] dzup: http://freshmeat.net/projects/f4l/ [06:42] chandler the command is sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [06:42] hello. I have a weird sound problem with VIA VT1818. I tried almost every solution out there, and nothing worked for me. For example, now, I can see input meter working, when I'm playing music or youtube vids, and in pulse I set rear mic as input [06:42] would someone please help me diagnose the prob? [06:42] chandler12304, the command is sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [06:42] Herbs: when i restart first thing that shows is the GRUB LOADER, or am i missing something ? [06:43] hello. how can i move a window from one display to another? [06:43] Ok ... explain it again..and this time pretend you're talking to Grandma, who doesn't know what the command rootnet line is :-) [06:43] rww, Isnt this only a caching proxy running at my end ? I mean whatismyip still detects my ip and says Possible Proxy Squid Port No & squid server name [06:43] apt-get update && apt-get upgrade will only work if the apt-get-update connects otherwise it will terminate [06:43] guglu, press del button on keyboard from when you start a computer until a blue screen shows up [06:43] apton cd restore not working [06:43] that's called bios [06:43] there's a certain part my my screen i can't click. when i move the window im trying to click i can click the spot. ??? [06:43] rww, Staying anonymous is not my criteria [06:43] ok Milossh , doing now [06:43] john_rambo: I didn't recommend tor to you. [06:43] guglu, don't [06:43] Milossh: ? [06:43] how do you make VLC Player not bring up a new window every time you play a new file? [06:44] I'm just trying to tell you what 'del on post' means [06:44] ohh, i see [06:44] Propel use File open [06:44] Herbs: so i should do that, right ? [06:44] I don't really know what's your prob [06:44] rww, squid [06:44] herb how can i fix that [06:44] john_rambo: dr_willis, who has since left the channel, did. and they were the one helping you. I don't know anything about squid. [06:44] Milossh: my KDE is not loading [06:44] did you try reinstalling it? [06:44] no, it was working fine yesterday [06:44] rww, Okay [06:44] what errors do you get? [06:45] john_rambo: if you're looking for my opinion, though, I think caching proxy servers are a waste of time unless you have a lot of users, since your browser does basically the same thing by itself. [06:45] guglu yup and check the time is correct as your fsck complained about the system clock [06:45] Hey, thank you everyone who helped me 10 minutes ago. It worked perfectly! [06:45] i have a usb wireless adapter which when I connect, neither the light on it turns on nor does ubuntu detect it [06:45] i did sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, then i was working as usual [06:45] everything was fine and i was happy [06:45] then i went home and today when i came its not loading [06:45] rww, Just want to try new things [06:45] Herbs: ok, will do that now [06:45] imikey, is there a more convenient way to do it? it's a bit of a hassle to do that every time you want to play a file [06:45] guglu, please explain "not loading" a bit [06:45] for instance like music [06:45] rww - i found an answer to my problem with linux only reading my CPU as a single core [06:45] apton cd restore not working [06:45] maybe drag and drop [06:45] but try herb's solution first [06:45] propel [06:46] rww, Bye ....Thanks [06:46] It was a BIOS option, I assume for compatibility [06:46] how do i kill the AWN (avant window navigator) in ubuntu [06:46] imikey, nope :/ [06:46] it is giving me a dead zone where i cant click [06:46] Milossh: it loads a black screen with the message "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16\r\n/dev/sda5: clean, 383070/6553600 files, 6168548/26214055 blocks" and yes, i am trying herbs solution now [06:46] freeman_: is it no possible to clos it from what i know [06:46] then do what Herbs said [06:46] george_, run this command in a terminal and post the usb info.lspci | grep -i wireless [06:47] mrdeb, it is making a dead zone where i cannnot click on my desktop [06:47] no matter what window is open [06:47] Herbs: sudo shutdown -r 0 should be fine to restart, am i right ? (just a bit nervous right now) [06:47] this is the question in launchpad.net https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+question/156908 [06:47] guglu should be fine but I usaully use now and not 0 [06:47] propel have you ever tried gnome mplayer?

[06:48] george_, no problem [06:48] nit-wit, the adapter is a D-link DWA-125 [06:48] also, I installed Plane Shift and it doesn't run [06:48] imikey, nope. but thanks for the suggestion. i'll try it out. i was recommened smplayer and vlc [06:48] it installed just fine from an installer but it will not execute [06:48] mrdeb, is there a way i can restart AWN and see if that resolves it? a system reboot doesn't :( [06:48] propel it supports the drag and drop for music [06:49] Herbs: unable to resolve host (none) [06:49] and without sudo nothing happens [06:49] Are there any tools for deleting orphan files? I know there are tools for deleting orphan packages, but I'm specifically looking to clean out orphan files. [06:49] i am not in the bios but in that bash [06:49] Herbs: [06:49] guglu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:49] imikey, do you know of a program that doesn't need to drag and drop? just plays into the same window? [06:49] FloodBot1: sorry [06:49] guglu try reboot [06:49] yes i tried [06:49] I know smplayer does that, but it's really annoying how it plays from where you elft off previously in the file [06:49] nthig happens [06:49] How do I cd in terminal to /home/Desktop/Vustom/Jolicloud/USB? [06:49] propel why not try rythym box and make a database [06:50] hey guys, i got a 4 TB linux with content, i want to make backup but only to the system and ensure if its fails i can restore it but without the personal data... the tar method allways let me down... ideas? [06:50] guglu no using the reboot script by typing reboot [06:50] propel it will make the database for you all you have to do is tell it where to look [06:50] yes, i typed the reboot command and hit enter, nothing happens, Herbs [06:50] Vustom: sure you didn't mean /home/Vustom/Deskotp/Jolicloud/USB? unless your name is Desktop, or you are hiding your username [06:50] guglu are you in the bios? [06:51] imikey, and then you just search through the DB within the program? [06:51] no, i am in that bash where i was taken after init=/bin/bash in the GRUB and then tried /sbin/fsck -y [06:51] Herbs: [06:51] propel correct [06:51] guglu ah your still in /bin/bash yeah? [06:51] propel like itunes [06:51] imikey, thanks. :) [06:51] yes [06:51] nit-wit, it comes out blank, doesn't show anything, I even tried sudoing it [06:51] ctrl+alt+del [06:51] ok :D [06:51] and then del to get the BIOS [06:51] guglu yup [06:52] guglu keep pressing del repeatdely [06:52] george_, it seems that that usb needs drivers just google the same idnetification you posted and you will see what I mean, here is a link for reference. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1289917 [06:53] The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.

[06:53] cd* [06:53] george here is a link the bot gives when prompted as well. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:54] guglu depending on your bios version [06:54] but usually its on the first page the time settings [06:54] nit-wit, hmm, so I need to compile the drivers myself? [06:55] nit-wit, weird thing is I tried using ndiswrapper and didn't work, guess I'll try compiling [06:55] Vustom: so Jolicloud is on user Vustom's desktop? it would be worthwhile to verify the path using locate (unless you are sure and are just having freak problems). for example, `locate Jolicloud` would give you the path you want, likely. [06:56] The V is undercase, just noticed it and it worked. [06:56] Vustom: then there you go :) [06:56] george_, hope the links are a help thats my limitations in this area.;) [06:56] nit-wit, thanks for the link, i just hope it works [06:59] Herbs: time and date were wrong [06:59] i rectified those [06:59] guglu lets hope thats sorts it change it and f10 to save and exit [06:59] restarted , same thing [07:00] how to disable compiz in 11.04? [07:00] yes, i did f10 [07:00] Herbs: restarting, same issue :( [07:01] some file has corrupted maybe, dunno ? dam :( === root is now known as Guest63684 [07:01] fuck [07:01] 11 [07:01] [Natty] '~$ sudo lshw -class memory; *-memory: description: System Memory. slot: System board or motherboard. size: 1GiB; capacity: 1GiB.' How does lshw determine the "capacity"? [07:01] my chat window in orkut is not visible.what can i do? === Guest63684 is now known as xxoo [07:02] why? [07:03] Herbs: did youw rite anything ? [07:03] how to made the chat window visible in orkut? [07:03] guglu nope am thinking [07:03] Hello [07:03] brother chun is ture man [07:03] ok, webchat for me is a bit buggy, i miss messages sometimes === dvs is now known as Guest94520 [07:05] Herbs: could the issue be with ram or HDD ? [07:06] guglu unlikely [07:06] ok, very weird [07:06] nit-wit, well i downloaded the source code for the driver as a bz2 file but when I extracted it, all it has is a 2_dpo file, just one file, any idea what it might be? [07:07] . [07:07] hi, is tracker-indexer and tracker-applet really necessary to run? [07:07] george_, I have not a clue in this area, sorry.;) [07:07] tracker-indexer always running high in CPU time!? [07:08] george_: whats the link please? [07:08] guglu try pressing the esc key [07:08] superfirelord42, http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 and it's the RT8070/RT3070/RT3370/RT5370/RT5372 USB link [07:08] where ? [07:09] kelvinella: no. tracker just indexes your files so you could search from them easilly [07:09] nit-wit, that's alright, you've been more than helpful [07:09] when you get the fsck message when you try booting [07:09] ferni, can i uninstall it? [07:09] ferni, how to uninstall? which process associate with it? do i uninstall it in synpatic? [07:10] I've run tracker etc software, sure its a nice idea, but when I tried to search something with it, it fails to find the information it says it should be indexing. so its totally useless [07:10] george_: that dpo file is a tar file [07:10] ferni, how to uninstall? [07:10] kelvinella: yes you can uninstall it. its propably some "tracker" package [07:10] george_: mv thefilenamedpo thefilenamedpo.tar and then tar -xf thefilenamedpo.tar [07:11] superfirelord42, u serious? first time seeing a file liek this, usually it would just be .tar [07:11] kelvinella: dpkg -l |grep tracker , then apt-get remove the packages [07:12] george_: I think, but quite honestly, I just lost the file, quite literally lost the file.... [07:12] superfirelord42, wow, thanks so much, worked :) why they didn't just make the extension a tar is beyond me [07:12] george_: well the extention should have been .tar.bz2 or something, but meh. sometimes software treats things different than other software [07:13] superfirelord42, ehh, better than not having the source files at all, thanks a lot though [07:13] george_: file extensions mean nothing in linux [07:13] george_: no problem [07:14] guglu any joy? [07:14] no [07:14] everything is so weird [07:15] i wanted to load the bash again [07:15] its not ro single anymore, its ro quiet splash [07:15] and then when i add init=/bin/bash the bash that comes is weird, where when i type commands the commands are not shown [07:15] guglu as the fsck complained about the system clock before the only think I can think of now is running it again since you corrected the time in your bios [07:15] also the alignment of root@(none)# is weird [07:16] Hi, I've just lost one NIC after a power shutdown and reboot. The NIC completely disappeared (doest no show either via ifconfig -a nor lspci). Any thought ? [07:17] KUbuntu 11.04 / kernel 2.6.38-8 generic [07:17] bak0un1n3: was it a proper shutdown? or a power loss? [07:17] a proper shutdown, followed by unpluging the power cable to move the machine to another room [07:18] bak0un1n3: any chance the nic could have come loose physically? (just covering all my bases here) [07:18] nothing happens with esc Herbs , it just shows ^[ [07:18] ^] [07:18] guglu what about ctrl+c [07:18] bak0un1n3, LMAO! [07:19] remove nic, clear all the dust, reinstert nic. poweron [07:19] ^C [07:19] prints that [07:19] why did i upgrade yesterday ???????????? :'( ;_; [07:19] I've even remove I can't be sure it's not physically harmed, but the linkj led are green both sides (pc and router) [07:19] reinstalling would kill me [07:20] but I've tried booti,g from a live cd, it doesn't see the NIC either [07:20] it's an onboard nic [07:20] the pci plugged nic still works [07:20] perhaps it bit the dust, bak0un1n3. [07:21] Xubuntu desktop 10.10. How do you change the color of a panel in Xfce? Can it be changed to a gradient? [07:21] bak0un1n3: it sounds like a hardware issue, especially if the live cd cannot see it. I assume it could see it prior to moving the computer [07:22] if not better idea, I'll remove the (working) PCI interface, try to boot with the onbard one only, and see if detected.... but would prefer other solution [07:22] !xubuntu | Kevin_Flynn [07:22] Kevin_Flynn: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [07:23] yes, before the physical move, all was ok ... but it seems weird the move had any physical impact: since it's an onboard card, it couldn't unplugged itself [07:23] bak0un1n3: if the only difference is the move and it effects teh live cd detection, all i can think is either that, or possibly the bios reset if you had a bad battery in there. did you have to set up the time again? [07:24] no no setup time again, and the bios seems to see the card (the corresponding menu options are enabled) [07:24] ubottu, right. Xubuntu is Ubuntu. So, that's why I'm here. [07:24] Kevin_Flynn: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:25] Kevin_Flynn: Xubuntu-specific support is in #xubuntu [07:25] I've already faced interface inversion (eth0->eth1 / eth1->eth0) when power shutdown/reboot, but never completely lost the nic === kst` is now known as kst [07:26] I've even remove the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file to clean the hardware info in it, and when recreated at boot, it contains only one interface (normal as the second one does ot appear in lspci) === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [07:26] could it be a driver issue? I don't remember if rebooted after updates [07:27] bak0un1n3: but then why would the live cd not work anymore.... as far as i know, ubuntu only updates its software, no firmware updates [07:27] hey how do I change my hostname? [07:27] Herbs: can i not run my KDE from that bash ? [07:27] aack [07:28] !hostname | skilz [07:28] any kind of work around will do for me [07:28] skilz: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [07:28] just need it working PLEASE [07:28] Herbs: after doing update and upgrade yesterday, i was working just fine, these issues happened after a restart/reboot [07:28] Herbs: there ? :( [07:29] bak0un1n3: anything which inadvertently flexes the motherboard during a move can cause failures. Also check the BIOS enable/disable settings for the onboard NIC.... [07:29] ok, I have Natty installed with Compiz, and a host of WM I want to pare down, and I cannot seem to get the ability to use pictures as my Cube Caps. What am I missing? [07:30] guglu I suspect the fact that fsck complained about the time that was incorrect in the bios that whats causing the issue is this is a scheduled fsck but its crashing due to the system time [07:30] what do we do now, Herbs ? still not working event tho i changed time and date in the BIOS [07:31] from that bash can i somehow not run KDE please ? [07:31] Loshki: the nic is enabled in bios settings, as time goes I'm more and more afraid of an hardware issue [07:31] guglu you could try running the fsck manually in /bin/bash again or diabling fsck schedules [07:32] /sbin/fsck -y [07:32] ok, will do that [07:32] is there a program that allows me to have different wallpapers for dual monitors? [07:32] how to disable ? [07:32] Herbs: [07:32] Hi. Is there any difference between using the update manager or aptitude for updating an ubuntu system? [07:32] I done sudo hostname router and now it says localhost [07:32] carpi: no [07:33] guglu I dont know how to diable off the top of my head if just reading the tune2fs man page [07:33] http://pastie.org/private/aibyrkb47ldpmrhbhnsyyq <-- this is what it says now compared to http://pastie.org/private/qqyreu0sqvw9i11zg1twwa <-- was saying before [07:33] rww: thank you for the clarification. But in that case, do you think that the "update manager" is redundant and can be safely removed if necessary? [07:33] carpi: yup [07:33] do you think b spears may shave herself again [07:34] Herbs: [07:34] Peddy>> check Xinerama to use one big desktop, and use Gimp to stitch two wallpapers together [07:34] guglu try rebooting now [07:35] oops [07:35] Peddy>> KDE and XFCE can do it [07:35] iOSByDayUbuntuBy, GNOME actually can do "one big desktop' wallpaper natively now. I know I can do it in GIMP, but it's a hassle to have to do that every time I want to change wallpaper. Is there no automated GNOME way as of yet? [07:35] Peddy>> not that I am aware [07:36] rww: thanks once again = ). I think i will uninstall it now. Other than the "update manager" and "unity" are there any other redundant packages you would remove on a fresh install of ubuntu natty? [07:36] rww: maybe synaptic? [07:36] iOSByDayUbuntuBy, thanks >.> I actually programmed a shell script that 'stitches' two images together for you, but tighter integration would be nice. Thanks again [07:36] carpi: I'm probably not the best person to ask that question, I'd go with "most of them" ;) [07:37] Does anyone know the name of the package on Natty that puts an application's menu in the top panel? [07:37] !info gnome-menu [07:37] Package gnome-menu does not exist in natty [07:37] haha.. i knew there was quite a lot of crud that had no place being on a default install of natty. i just wanted to make sure i didn't remove anything important.. But thank you anyways + ) [07:38] george_e: global menu I believe [07:38] ActionParsnip: That's the package name? [07:39] carpi: could install minimal then build up instead [07:39] george_e: something like that [07:39] Herbs: my /etc/fstab has no /dev/sda5 :( [07:40] and it has some line saying # Commented by Dropbox [07:40] guglu to diable edit /etc/fstab and where you have ext* errors=remount-ro 0 1 change the 1 to 0 [07:40] ActionParsnip: but i think that removes a lot of things. but its too late for me anyways. already have natty up and running, without a problem : ) [07:41] carpi: fair dos [07:41] one more thing.. could someone please tell me what is "zeitgeist datahub"? I saw the words "passive logger" in the description and I'm thinking thats a cause for worry... [07:42] im thinking about disabling it in startup.. [07:42] problem with hp laserjet 1020 on natty narwhal. recognizes printer, lists job, shows job as completed, but nothing prints. i've tried whatever i could find as help online, but i'm not able to get it to work. anyone can guide me through this problem? [07:44] Jon1: delete the printer and unplug it. Grab latest HPLIP and install it. Reboot and connect printer [07:44] Herbs: yes, i read that on a forum, and was trying, but it says "readonly" file [07:44] and doesnt let me save [07:44] sudo doesnt work [07:44] guglu then when youve done that run tune2fs -i 0 /dev/sda5 [07:44] :( [07:44] gulu you need to edit it as sudo [07:44] How would I add the functionality in Compiz to set pictures as Cube Caps? [07:44] All it shows is a color set [07:45] iOSByDayUbuntuBy: its in ccsm [07:45] sudo to any command says unable to resolve host (none) [07:45] Herbs: [07:45] guglu oops nvm the file system is read only type mount -o remount,rw / [07:45] ActionParsnip: I think i've done this... maybe more than once. how do i get the latest hplip and how do i install it? [07:45] ActionParsnip>> CCSM? [07:45] are you sure Herbs [07:46] iOSByDayUbuntuBy: you can set image in the cube desktop plugin [07:46] hello im an amateur C++ developer, im struggling how to figure out how to implement variables of an object such that whenever a variable changes, the object performs a particular action. Say the object has 4 variables, each triggering a different action [07:46] guglu yup we didnt add rw when we booted /bin/bash [07:46] ActionParsnip>> In the plugin, it gives only setting color [07:46] Herbs: this is the same issue i am having -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1303356 [07:47] i want to play the game GTA san andreas on my ubuntu how can i do it i have the play on linux software... i have an image of the game and no cd. how do i proceed [07:47] image or iso file [07:47] Jon1: you'll find the site and file easily. Mark it as executable and run it in a terminal as user. [07:48] Herbs: i am doing mount -o remount,rw / now [07:48] please help iam new to ubuntu [07:48] iOSByDayUbuntuBy: i believe it has option for image. You may need to expand a section [07:48] Herbs: says Internal Journal on sda5:8 [07:48] ActionParsnip>> i will look again [07:48] i want to play the game GTA san andreas on my ubuntu how can i do it i have the play on linux software... i have an imageor iso file of the game and no cd. how do i proceed [07:48] !piracy [07:48] piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

Also see !guidelines and !o4o [07:49] EXT4-fs (sda5): internal journal on sda5:8 [07:49] Herbs: do i need to do mount / -o remount,rw maybe ? [07:49] or they were same ? [07:50] guglu no try touch test [07:50] xxx [07:50] yes that works [07:50] mount / -o remount,rw worked, i changed 1 to 0 in fstab [07:50] now reboot with ctrl+alt+delete, ok ? :) [07:51] ActionParsnip>> Neither Top nor Bottom shows an expandable window like Skydome [07:51] Herbs: [07:51] guglu yup [07:51] iOSByDayUbuntuBy: afaik the bottom isn't doable. I'm not o [07:52] On my pc now [07:52] iOSByDayUbuntuBy: could try asking in #compiz [07:53] any ideas? [07:53] where could i find the xorg configuration file to make a backup of it? to avoid xorg problems later on... [07:53] /usr/share? [07:53] ActionParsnip>> Bummer, ah well, its only pretty. Is there a way to remove the buttload of window managers I have in Options at login? I seem to be missing it, have KDE, Ubuntu, Ubuntu Classic, Openbox, Gnome and KDE openbox [07:53] Herbs: no luck, this time it didnt fsck but same black screen [07:53] with just the cursor [07:54] avernos: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:54] now one thing, can i somehow not run KDE from the bash ? [07:54] thanks! [07:54] guglu ok weve found out its not the fsck that is hanging it at least tail the last 20 of dmesg off and paste it to pastebin [07:54] guglu your using kde? [07:55] iOSByDayUbuntuBy: if you remove openbox it will remove the openbox options [07:55] Herbs: yes [07:55] dmesg is some command ? do i just run dmseg in the bash ? [07:55] dmesg* [07:55] tail -20 /var/log/dmesg [07:55] harvi_svk, it isnt there. could me /etc/X11/X/ ? [07:55] ok, doing now [07:56] ActionParsnip: Maybe I'm missing something here, but didn't iOs(etc) install those other window managers? if so, then why not remove them from the pkg mgr? [07:56] thor99>> So I could strip all of them out through pkg mgr? [07:57] I'm awaiting Parsnip's advice here... [07:57] thor99: does "remove openbox" not sound good? :-D [07:57] Herbs: ok, done. pastebinning wud be difficult job [07:57] Hi [07:57] ActionParsnip & thor99>> I removed open box through Software mgr, gonna switch users and see what is left [07:57] brb [07:58] iOSByDayUbuntuBy: they are added by packages. Removing relevant packages removes them [07:58] guglu ok will take a look you got the link? [07:59] Parsnip: OK, i see where you are coming from. [07:59] Herbs: it outputted 20 lines, i am thinking of how to pastebin [07:59] hello [07:59] umm, i dont think i can acces /var/log/dmesg from windows, hmm [07:59] iOSByDayUbuntuBy, you can use the top and bottom of the cube with the cube reflection and deformation plugin; set thr deformation at none to keeo the cube [08:00] *the keep [08:00] Thor99: glad you got my back. I'm knackered [08:00] Herbs: can i access the file from windows ? [08:00] Actionparsnip>> Ok, now I have no openbox, but retain Ubuntu, Ubuntu Classic, KDE plasma, Failsafe, and three Guest restricted [08:00] nit-wit>> thank you [08:01] iOSByDayUbuntuBy, no problem.;) [08:01] iOSByDayUbuntuBy: ok. What do you want to keep? [08:02] ActionParsnip which window manager, if any, do you yourself personally use most often? [08:02] ActionParsnip>> Im finally happy with Ubuntu Classic (current) so I can lose KDE and XFCE, and I dont see a need for three Guest restricteds [08:02] avernos: then they should be in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d [08:03] avernos: all files in that folder [08:03] Herbs: take a look at http://pastie.org/private/8gy6sysg0ter5vyzugtlxa i will be updating it, have to write on paper and then edit that pastie [08:03] harvi_svk, .d means daemon?, its the same? [08:03] guglu if you save it to an ntfs partition yes try tail -20 /var/log/dmesg > /path/to/ntfs/drive [08:03] avernos: http://askubuntu.com/questions/37761/xorg-conf-in-ubuntu-natty-11-04 [08:03] thor99: i use openbox on LXDE. I use Xpud a lot too which uses plateUI [08:03] ty [08:03] and add a file name at the end of the path [08:04] iOSByDayUbuntuBy: search your packages for kde and remove them [08:05] ActionParsnip>> Removal or Complete? [08:05] iOSByDayUbuntuBy: if you remove xfce4 it should remove XFCE [08:05] iOSByDayUbuntuBy: always complete [08:06] Thor99: yourself? [08:06] guglu I suspect theres an issue with kde displaying the login scree so what I would suggest is changing the run level to level 3 then hopefully you can login and reinstall kde [08:07] ActionParsnip: Thanks! That did it! [08:08] Jon1: great!! [08:08] ActionParsnip: Mac OS X snow leopard.. right now I'm using virtualbox with an XP vm, Ubuntu VM... thinking of checking out Lubuntu, have you done so? [08:08] hey does anyone know of a variant of ubuntu like mint or something that comes default with gnome 3? [08:08] Thor99: i co [08:08] Herbs: where to change that ? [08:08] Oop [08:08] /etc/inittab [08:08] ok, i will try [08:09] anyone know how to specify a command to execute when a user quits /exits out of an ssh session? [08:09] rww: cheers my pal, btw I'm sorry about our little problem earlier, perhaps your comment was meant jokingly and I took it the wrong way [08:09] Thor99: i contribute to it on the mailing list. I think its awesome [08:09] i dont have that file Herbs [08:09] ActionParsnip: I'm wondering how Xpud compares and contrasts w/ Lubuntu?? [08:09] is it /etc/init Herbs ? [08:09] guglu ah doh ubuntu is different I dont know then Im used to Red Hat based distros [08:10] :( === KolakCC is now known as KolakCC|hurt|afk [08:10] Thor99: it boots damn fast ( <3 secs) but has fewer default apps and drivers [08:10] herbs: I've found ubuntu = more sudos and less sus haha [08:10] ActionParsnip: That's what I've read so far. I've been a long time tech.. just a little rusty with some new developments with window managers and stuff these days [08:11] iFrenzy yeah funny thing is /etc/inittab exists in Debian [08:11] iFrenzy: sudo -i == su [08:11] iFrenzy: Im looking for something like that too. I just know that fedora5 got gnome3 as default [08:11] Parsnip: Ahh.. what's the size in K?... so Xpud is truly a minimalist thing [08:11] ActionParsnip: ha ha, now if you could only tell me how to get unity working with the nvidia accelerated graphics driver so i could see whether i want to use it or not [08:11] harvi_svk: installing isn't that big of a pain, I just prefer it way more to unity and would love it as a default for when i install on other people's computers [08:12] Thor99: my use is basic so xpud is great. Plus it loads quickly [08:12] Jon1: which nvidia chip? [08:12] ActionParsnip: What are your specialties in computing? you a basic nuts and bolts guy, jack of all trades, ??? [08:12] ActionParsnip: by the way remember the problem I was having earlier with my tv and hdmi, I finally fixed it by changing the port on my tv the cord was plugged in [08:13] Thor99: networking and system monitoring. I can sling systems together too [08:13] Action: Great.. which beckons the question.. I'm wondering what restrictions nVidia has put out there.. i doubt they'd GPL it for Linux [08:14] Herbs: env DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL or env RUNLEVEL ? [08:14] iFrenzy: ahh nice [08:14] found it in /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf , Herbs [08:14] guglu default runlevel [08:14] ActionParsnip: like there was 3 hdmi ports and moving it from 1 to 2 fixed the problem, I was like all these hours of trying to figure it out and this fixes it, I almost got pissed and didn't even watch the movie I was trying to watch haha [08:14] ok [08:14] it is 2 [08:14] changing to 3 [08:14] ActionParsnip: geForce 7025 / nForce 630a [08:15] i am unable to paste to terminal after ssh ing in another machine [08:15] guglu yes change to 3 unless thats diff in ubuntu as well :( [08:15] Thor99: not sure. I don't delve into that. I just use what i know works. [08:15] :( [08:15] ravionrails: did you try ctrl + v [08:15] Jon1: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [08:16] iFrenzy, yup but of not use [08:16] Hmm, isn't it CTRL+SHIFT+V [08:16] or is SSH protecting this for sec reasons [08:16] Herbs: again "readonly" option is set issue [08:16] wut do ? [08:16] ravionrails: +1 ctrl+shift+v [08:16] in all apps CTRL+V.. in Terminal add SHIFT. [08:16] when upgrading to the next version of ubuntu.. how do i carry over my installed programs and settings to the next version? === Bwaah is now known as version [08:17] thor99: never knew that === version is now known as Bwaah [08:17] damn i worded that wrong.. haste makes waste. you get the idea [08:17] I guess I've never had a problem with that before htough [08:17] guglu you mounted it as read only have you could you touch a file before?

[08:17] no i didnt try touch [08:17] carpi: Just go thru update [08:17] so when loading the live cd, what does it mean when the boot process stops at a command line that says initramfs? [08:17] i wil better try touch /etc/inittab [08:17] and set env DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL=3 there [08:17] guglu no dont do that [08:18] excuse me while I puke... the only Nero I respect is version 6 and lower [08:18] ActionParsnip: version [08:18] Jon1: if you run nvidia-settings do you get an error?

[08:19] guglu then type mount -o remount,rw / [08:20] ok [08:20] although I did run into a problem earlier but I know how i could fix it just didn't feel like taking the time, I had an .mp4 file that was 2 hours and 7 minutes long, but was only 1.1gb and brasero was telling me it was too big to burn [08:20] Being a Networking and security guy, i would think you might have. Also, have you tried out Zyxel's stuff (life besides Cisco!) [08:20] was hoping there was a shorter way than convertering the file [08:20] converting* [08:20] Thor99: i have a pc-bsd cd laying around, never got to using it though [08:20] ActonParsnip: no error message. but when i've tried to use unity i can't see any application or files listed, only a white screen where they should be [08:21] but storing all your data files in a seperate 'home' partition is a good enough backup.. .yes?

Clean installs are the best and the way to go. [08:34] ActionParsnip: how would i go about that? i dont have a disk only a 2gb pen drive, which i assume is too small to store the iso image? [08:35] robinson carusoe [08:35] Alostsoul: no definitely not the install files are less than 700mb [08:35] Alostsoul: iso is only 700mb [08:35] SOUL: You just said you had an HD with errors on it. [08:35] okie dokie soooo, download the iso, put the image on th pend drive and re-format/clean install from iso?

[08:36] no i dont have a cd just a 2gb usb, though i can boot from usb i think [08:36] alostsoul: you can't just put the image on the drive you have to use the usb creater tool [08:36] If I run in classic mode, chromium appears normal. [08:36] thor99>> shure clean installs work best. but my dual boot dont work so i think that my clean install wount work either.. [08:36] alostsoul: its called startup disk creator [08:37] iFrenzy: yes i seem to have that file on my pen drive already, let me go do some research and ill be back shortly [08:37] zrbecker: i dont use chromium but isnt there an option to use themes? maybe it'll look better [08:37] ty for your help [08:37] KaptenroddSkagg: Are you using GRUB for your boot loader?

[08:38] steveccc: you don't need software believe it or not amazon will do it for you [08:38] steveccc: go to your kindle page on amazon and they're will be a username for your kindle [08:38] ifrenzy: they will but they charge per mb to transfer it so I was ideally looking to convert on my laptop and copy via usb [08:38] thor99>> i think so? standard 1104 bootloader, nothing changed [08:38] http://imgur.com/a/uJKIe Here is a compare and contrast between unity and classic. [08:39] Cool, Ifrenzy. I did not know that re: the Kindle. [08:39] Alostsoul: its in a default install. You don't need to download anything. Just run the command [08:39] steveccc: it doesn't charge if the kindle is connected to wifi and you send it to yourkindleusername@free.kindle.com [08:39] iFrenzy: will that mean i have to use windows to sort it? i wanted to do it through ubuntu if possible [08:39] ActionParsnip: i dont understand, my usb-creator is an executable what command would it be? [08:39] alostsoul: no there's a program in ubuntu called startup disk creator that will do it [08:40] zrbecker: I mean this https://chrome.google.com/webstore?hl=en&category=theme. You can find simple but nice themes too [08:40] steveccc: make sure you send it from your trusted email that's listed on your kindle page on amazon though [08:40] iFrenzy: Indeed, this is the solution.

[08:45] <_Neytiri_> i replaced the username i connected to the server with with "USER" when i posted it for security reason [08:45] Ifrenzy: Yes and No. It's optimized for speed with a lighter weight window manager, only loading necessary daemons, etc. You should read for complete details [08:46] thor99: I suppose it would be great for vms [08:46] iFrenzy: lubuntu can be used on high end systems too. It is designed to use few resources so low end systems do benefit from using it over gnome [08:47] Ifrenzy: but yeah, i've always leaned on the side of desiring an OS that's lightweight. Believe it or not, there is at least one Linux distro that can still run on an 8088 [08:47] thor99: what like puppy or something? [08:47] QUESTION: What is the diff b/w flex and flex-old [08:47] Heh, ActionParsnip cuts my detail level to readable :) [08:47] thor99: and if you like lightweight I got an xp install cd that's only 100mb [08:48] iFrenzy: similar but ubuntu based, although lucid puppy can use ubuntu repos. Very strange [08:48] ActionParsnip: do you know how I can find the current standards-version (packaging) [08:48] IFrenzy: Ohh good grief, I do so much damn reading I'd have to look into it.. [08:48] thor99: I use it for running netflix on linux [08:48] <_Neytiri_> bullgard4, any idea why i cant get it to work?

I know checkinstall can make deb from compiled source [08:49] ugh... TinyURL would have come in handy [08:49] ActionParsnip: okay thanks anyway [08:50] I just clicked the link... [08:50] $a=echo $1 | sed -e 's/[^[:alnum:]|-]//g' [08:50] ideas how to fix it? [08:50] _Neytiri_: My idea is that the error should reflect in an error log. I was searching for you where this log is. So far I have not yet succeeded. [08:50] Hey all. [08:50] i want to strip from url the chars and get it into a valid folder name [08:50] morning Mark [08:51] iFrenzy: also look into slitaz and tinycore if you want light and fast :). Xpud boots really fast and is pretty good too :x [08:51] <_Neytiri_> a increased load on the server shouldnt cause it tho? [08:51] coconutz: which chars? [08:51] ok so lets say its root/user/userone is user the parent directory or is root?

[08:52] iFrenzy: they run on nice fast cpus too [08:52] I have a question (not very urgent, would like an answer though) about grub. I want to remove my ubuntu install (because it´s taking up my last two primary partitions), but when I delete it I also delete grub, making my windows unavailable. Would any of you recommend any software to reinstall the windows 7 MBR again, from within windows? [08:52] markang: download easybcd [08:53] I´ve heard about that, does it actually delivers what it promises? [08:53] iFrenzy: there's no such option in the sound preferences [08:53] markang: yes it does, I just used it 3 days ok on my wife's computer as a matter of fact [08:53] markang: http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 [08:53] 哈罗 [08:53] Alrighty, already installed EasyBCD. [08:53] okay thanks again guys im feeling pretty optimistic, ive managed to get unetbootin to copy the iso over the usb so hopefully afetr switching the boot order on my bios everything should run smoothly, cant wait to be back ubuntu full time XD [08:53] anyone haveing a ide to find SATA disk in boot menu? [08:53] happy happy [08:53] Just wanted to hear if it was any good. [08:54] Thanks iFrenzy! [08:54] markang: well then just click on whichever version of windows you have to replace the mbr and you should be fine [08:54] MarkAng: Put in the Windows7 Install Disk, hit F10 at bootup, repair the master boot record [08:54] thor99: easybcd is way quicker and you don't have to have an install cd [08:54] I have no install disk. Not anymore, at least. I think I´ll go with iFrenzy´s solution ;-) [08:55] thor99: not to mention with most of the computers they sell these days they don't even give you a windows cd [08:55] Thanks, gentlemen. [08:55] IFrenzy: Thanks dude, I'll have to check that out! [08:56] IFrenzy: So true. I'm so used to having my retail copy it's like 2nd nature. [08:57] IFrenzy: However, it's a pipe-dream, but it'd be a great day when Windows is eclipsed in popularity [08:57] by linux [08:58] is there a better alternate for DIA .. or even better quality shapes for dia? [08:58] thor99: it already has in some countries, and I hate buying software hence I always use linux or perhaps some version of windows you'd find on a pirate's leg [08:59] Thor99: why? Linux is not always the answer [08:59] Ifrenzy: Yeah, I'm aware that China and India rely more on open source [08:59] thor99: and a lot of underdeveloped countries as well [08:59] Thor99: users should use the OS to suit their needs [09:00] ActionParsnip: That's the problem.. think in a different paradigm where Windows isn't de facto standard and on top. [09:00] I do wish they would improve the wine functionaility [09:01] Action: Let's compare the security of Linux to Windows, tho [09:02] Thor99: that is moot. If mac can do the systems intended job better than windows and linux and money is no object. Why choose Linux when it is the inferior choice, and so on [09:03] We haven't defined enough for the point to be moot! [09:04] I see your point, and I agree with you. I see the OS as a tool to get the job done [09:04] but, when some tools are more polished and sophisticated than others are [09:04] coconutz: sed -e '{s/http:\/\///g;s/[^[:alnum:]|-]//g}' [09:04] Thor99: the OS should be chosen on merit, not Linux because you happen to like it [09:05] Thor99: so it is moot [09:05] What do you think I'm describing? [09:07] i was wondering if anyone likes to program in c on ubuntu? [09:07] Thor99: you want more users to use Linux than windows. That's fine. It may happen but not all needs are met by one OS so whichever OS is used more isn't terribly interesting as people will use the OS suiting what they want the system for [09:08] newubuntu: not me, but there're a lot === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [09:08] Hola a todos [09:08] !sp | GASUZAURIO [09:09] haber si me puedes orientar con algo [09:09] Hello All, Can Someone Recommend me a Copy Paste Handler for Ubuntu. something like teracopy on the windows side.

Just simple DNS recognition, so I can ping, ssh (and later git) from Windows peer machines [09:16] okay im back, for some reason my computer wouldnt boot from the usb, i tried in 3 different orders as my bios has the following usb boot options - USB-FDD/USB-ZIP/USB-CD-ROM but neone of the 3 booted, i ran the unetboot and coppied the ubuntu-1386.iso over to the usb in the proper manner, anyone have any ideas as why my PC doesnt boot into the usb? === nonz is now known as temporarytao [09:16] Hi can I downgrade Intel graphics drivers? [09:17] A_J, right it is ,, however I was assuming when you said "copy paste" you meant clipboard managers... at this point I am confused,, [09:17] my usb currently has the same files it had before and there is no ISO image, it has wubi.exe which confuses me a little [09:17] uri: only thing is setup up your network correctly. Do you have a IP already? [09:17] coz_, to copy paste files mate. [09:17] hey, can anyone tell me how i can use bzr to generate a .diff file and then apply a patch using that file? [09:18] temporarytao: check http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/bzr-0.9/tutorial.html [09:18] coz_, how we use ctlr +c and crtl + v to copy paste folders and files.. [09:18] schnuffle: Do have an IP. Able to ping to IP address. However, doesn't appear in DNS server. I've seen many discussion on dhcp3 configuration files, but no luck. [09:18] in which software i can convert one video format into another?(eg:avi format to 3gp). [09:18] anyone with knowedge of installing ubuntu from usb pendrive? please [09:18] hey guys [09:18] uri: paste sudo cat /etc/resolv.conf [09:19] someone help me, i am in a terrible situation [09:19] schnuffle, i've checked but i can't find a lead. [09:19] the grub loader loads [09:19] i choose ubuntu [09:19] and then blank screen [09:19] nothing happens [09:19] guglu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:19] someone please help me, :( [09:19] A_J, so you want more of a file manager than a clipboard manager ....yes? [09:19] guglu: when did the problem start? did ubuntu work before hand? how did you install ubuntu? [09:20] problem startted today when i switched on my computer [09:20] i installed ubuntu 1 year ago [09:20] yes. coz_ but something which replaces the current copy manager in ubuntu.. Yes a Filemanager [09:20] guglu: so ubuntu was working before today? did you update to natty? [09:20] friends someone help me. [09:20] it was all working fine. but i think the sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade has caused issue which i did yesterdasy [09:20] does anyone here think that 10.10 was better than 11.04? [09:20] but after update and upgrade i was working on my computer and everything was fine :( [09:21] i am in a terrible situation, trying to fix it for the past 4 hours now :( [09:21] and i am at work! [09:21] yes, you are right TheLostSoul , but i didnt upgrade to natty [09:22] guglu: they are for packages i believe though you could have installed something dodgey, im not too sure about grub loader though, have you tried recovery/root mode? [09:22] just sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [09:22] [sudo] password for uri: [09:22] # Generated by NetworkManager [09:22] domain rnd.confidela [09:22] search rnd.confidela [09:22] nameserver 172.16.27.15 [09:22] nameserver 172.16.27.4 [09:22] uri: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:22] recovert mode also hangs TheLostSoul [09:22] guglu: sudo upgrade is an upgrade to natty [09:22] i have tried adding init=/bin/bash in the grub loader and then bash loads, but what then ? [09:22] TheLostSoul: ohh :( :(: ( [09:22] uri: can you ping the IP's of the nameservers? [09:22] dam [09:23] sudo apt-get upgrade is what i did [09:23] why did i do that :( [09:23] can i not undo those things now TheLostSoul ? :( [09:23] guglu: the initransf might load as a last resort but unless your a techie im presuming you wont be able to diagnose the issue, you might need to force a package to finish or something [09:23] hey when you're installing ubuntu and it asks you if you want to encrypt you're home directory, what exactly does that mean? [09:23] temporarytao: check http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/bzr-0.9/tutorial.html [09:24] who knows what is Slowloris.pl? [09:24] temporarytao: sorry check this http://old.nabble.com/bazaar---how-to-make-a-patch-td27199220.html [09:24] iFrenzy: my usb does load after using the unetboot and copying the iso to the pen drive [09:24] TheLostSoul: no, i am not a linux guru [09:24] schnuffle: able to ping [09:24] thelostsoul: great [09:25] iFrenzy: wait sorry it DOESNT [09:25] now what are the options available ? please tell me. reinstalling is the last option. maybe to 10.10 [09:25] coz_, well ? [09:25] guglu: im brand new to ubuntu too my friend, iwas hoping by taking some information from you a guru might take over :P [09:25] thelostsoul, in software i can convert one video format into another. [09:26] uri: so what happens when you do a: ping google.com [09:26] thelostsoul: and you're sure the bios is set to boot from the usb first? [09:26] able to ping everything FROM the ubuntu box TO everything else, including pinging by name. [09:26] A_J, there are many "file managers" as well as a few clipboard managers,, all I can say is to search through them,,, although I rarely tell people to google,, i would simply use the search string linux file managers to see what comes up [09:26] Hi all, I have a problem with the back light on a toshiba Satellite A500, where is the right place to log this issue? [09:26] hey guys, on a 200gb hard drive if you're doing separate partitions for home and root how much space should you assign to each? [09:27] sorry, by back litgh I mena the keyboard back light... [09:27] schnuffle: problem is pinging FROM peer Windows machine to the Ubunto box (by name. by IP works). [09:27] uri: so your DNS resolving works [09:27] iFrenzy: ive tried 3 combinations of booting from usb all failed, it just hangs, my bios has USB-FDD/USB-ZIP/USB-CD-ROM, i am curious is i just put the ISO into the usb weather the cd-rom may work? [09:27] schnuffle, yes, i think the second one is it. thanks [09:27] uri: you need a local DNS that can resolve the names [09:27] When going to Windows box, and trying to do: nslookup I get cannot resolve. [09:27] thelostsoul: no that won't work you have to make it bootable [09:27] fggreg [09:28] ifrenzy: sorry to be a pain in the ass but have converted that doc for kindle but my kindle is at home - do you know of software that will read the azw file to see how well it converts? [09:28] iFrenzy: an iso is bootable? [09:28] iFrenzy, i don't know about your setup but i have 15gb as my root and i think i'm just using 9gb of it so far. [09:28] iFrenzy: i tried the unetboot and coppies it over to the pen drive but none of the usb boot options worked [09:28] steveccc: an iphone [09:28] SIR NATZ !!!!!!!!1 [09:28] lol [09:28] haha [09:28] schnuffle: I do have a DNS locally on my local network. Problem is that my ubuntu box isn't registered there. I don't know why. All other Windows boxes are there [09:29] iFrenzy. in software i can convert one video format into another. [09:29] steveccc: really an iphone will do it, don't know of anything else perhaps kindle for pc if you can finagle it to work with wine unless you are running windows [09:29] let's jam down guys until 11.10 is released: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jK-NcRmVcw [09:29] ifrenzy: no prob - thanks [09:30] if i set my root to 30gbs and i need more space later, can i resize them without reinstalling [09:30] uri: is it a real DNS server or something in a DSL-Router? [09:30] anybody got knowledge of installing ubuntu from a USB pen drive please? [09:31] how long does it take you guys to get the android sdk emulator started? [09:31] thelostsoul, s [09:31] iFrenzy, i think you can use gparted for that but it specifically warns of data losses when resizing partitions tho [09:31] hello, someone using transmission-daemon with the web interface here ? [09:31] TheLostSoul: It's pretty straight forward. [09:31] android emulator aroun 5 min to me [09:31] TheLostSoul, how many times have you created your usb booter? [09:31] maybe its a bad write and you just have to do it agian [09:31] schnuffle: it is a very real DNS server: Window server 2008. The DHCP service is on the same box. [09:32] toper, ohh, it's not just me then, why the hell does it take soo long, for me I haven't even gotten it to load yet [09:32] , in software i can convert one video format into another. [09:32] I jsut installed transmission-daemon but it's not accessible from the Internet, on localhost it works fine [09:32] temporarytao: just once, i guess it kinda un-compresses the ISO image into a bootable format but the files i see in the directory of my USB dont seem bootable, how is an exe bootable? wouldnt the iso image be more bootable? [09:33] logesh, can you clarify? are you looking for what program to use to convert one video format to another? [09:33] uri: Aaah, Okay thats a totally different thing. Not shure how to tweak the Windows stuff, it's possible but I don't know how. [09:33] fnlcountdown: how so? could it be my computer then? becasue i followed the steps and after trying to boot from usb my computer hung in all 3 instances [09:33] TheLostSoul, you need a bootable usb creator to make a live usb [09:34] so no one ever answered me, what are the advantages to encrypting your home folder [09:34] , yes i need the software .eg(avi format to 3gp). [09:34] temporarytao: i used unetboot [09:34] I just installed transmission-daemon but it's not accessible from the Internet, on localhost it works fine [09:34] schnuffle: Do you know anything about the Ubuntu: /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf file? There are few pages on the Internet that suggests the problem is there. [09:34] can you help me ? [09:34] hey [09:34] Oh I think you may need to edit something. IIRC I did. [09:34] temporarytao: try http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ I had a lot of probs with unetbootin [09:34] TheLostSoul: It could also be a corrupt download iof the .iso, have you checked the md5sum of the iso you downloaded against what it should be [09:34] It was some mislinked file. [09:34] TheLostSoul, that sounds ok. maybe you should try again. sometimes it messes up the write [09:35] It should tell you about that though rather than crashing, however.. [09:35] I have ubuntu installed now, I want to dualboot with Windows XP, Whats the easiest way to setup the partitions [09:35] encrypting home folder, advantages? [09:35] DJones: how do i check? & temporarytao, okay ill try that [09:35] yabanize: the other way around is wayyy easier [09:35] uri: could be but I'm familliar enough with it. I have Win2008 servers running but the DNS is made by my linux boxes [09:35] , yes i need the software .eg(avi format to 3gp). [09:35] TheLostSoul, try also playing around with the usb settings at your bios. i think you turn off usb legacy compatibility or something... [09:35] IKR [09:35] thanks coz_ [09:35] OK Thanks. [09:36] !md5sum | TheLostSoul [09:36] TheLostSoul: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [09:36] temporarytao: okie dokie ill have another look in my bios before anything else [09:36] logesh, you can try avidemux. but i've to warn you, there's a lot of hit and miss involved [09:36] A_J, hope you find what you need guy,, :) [09:36] They need to make a UWII instead of Wubi [09:36] iFrenzy: Enhanced privacy? lol. I remember a news story about someone with linux and home folder encryption. [09:36] TheLostSoul, ok [09:37] [Natty] '~$ sudo lshw -class memory; *-memory: description: System Memory. slot: System board or motherboard. size: 1GiB; capacity: 1GiB.' How does lshw determine the "capacity"? [09:37] I would love to stay with ubuntu but im missing my windows apps and wine doesnt cut it [09:37] , what do u mean by hit and mis.i can't understand. [09:37] logesh, things do not usually work out as you expect. you'll have to play around with the settings to get what you want. [09:37] yabanize: run microxp in virtualbox [09:38] TheLostSoul: Once you've got the md5sum for teh iso you've downloaded, you can check against this list (assuming its 11.04) [09:38] No, I need dualboot [09:38] I do have xp installed in virtualbox though [09:38] yabanize, what apps are you missing? [09:38] yabanize: what programs are you missing? [09:38] Photoshop, Visual Studio, Ovi Suite [09:38] lol well then [09:38] although photoshop will work with some tinkering [09:39] , ok friend send me the link to download avidemux. [09:39] Oh and my steam games [09:39] Try aptitude install avidemux [09:39] lol well yeah you need windows [09:39] So how do i partition now from ubuntu [09:39] wckd: what does the aptitude command have over apt-get? [09:39] without formatting the whole drive [09:39] logesh, use the ubuntu software manager [09:39] search for it there [09:40] yabanize: I've never done it personally I've always did it the opposite way so I wouldn't want to try to tell you and you lose all your stuff [09:40] ok. [09:40] how can i upgrade my system to 11.04 [09:40] iam using 10.04 [09:40] @iFrenzy u just need apps that run on windoze not windoze it self;) [09:40] Is GParted no longer included in ubuntu? [09:40] datalay: you have to update to 10.10 then to 11.04 or do a fresh install of 11.04 [09:41] datalay, if you're really sure: sudo apt-get upgrade -d [09:41] datalay, oh yeah, follow iFrenzy's suggestion. you have to upgrade to 10.10 first. [09:41] datalay: IMO it's always best to start with a fresh install. I'm 1/10 for upgrading ubuntu so far. [09:41] but its probably best all around to fresh install [09:42] fnlcountdown: yeah the last time i upgraded I couldn't get chrome to work at all [09:42] also, make sure you know what you're getting into with 11.04. a lot of people are not to happy about it [09:42] I guess ill just format with windows and do wubi later [09:42] lol i'd recommend installing gnome 3 and getting rid of unity [09:42] I havent really got much in ubuntu at the moment [09:42] yabanize: I'd recommend doing dual boot and not wubi [09:43] Or just use the 'Ubuntu Classic Mode' [09:43] Why iFrenzy [09:43] yabanize, i'm with iFrenzy. dual boot is better than wubi [09:43] How is dualboot better [09:43] wubi seems to act funny with a lot of drivers and stuff [09:43] Hey everyone! I'm going to do a presentation in a while, and we use a projector which uses a standard monitor plug (the blue one) [09:43] Lol i had alot of problems with drivers as it is [09:44] Hey everyone! I'm going to do a presentation in a while, and we use a projector which uses a standard monitor plug (the blue one) how do make natty connect? [09:44] jstoone: congradulations... [09:44] haha [09:44] iFrenzy: haha.. funny xD [09:44] yabanize, with wubi, your root is actually mixed in with your windows directories. imagine what would happen if someone messed up and deleted your linux folders [09:44] iFrenzy: I pressed enter to soon.. [09:44] Yeah i guess so [09:45] also, if you just want to explore linux and not go all out, just run from a live usb. [09:45] you should just plug it in and you'll have dual screen or it might mirror default but go into monitor settings and click off mirror and drag your presentation onto the right screen and whoaloah [09:45] I couldnt get my laptop to boot from usb [09:45] so cd for me [09:45] yabanize, booting from cd won't save your session changes though [09:45] Neither with usb [09:46] yabanize: it will if you install it to the usb, like stick the cd in and pick the usb as your hard drive to install it to [09:46] Oh yeah [09:46] hi [09:46] i have installed few programs on pendrive [09:46] yabanize, actually, you can. you just have to enable persistence [09:46] is possible to copy it to hd ? [09:47] ubuntu, no [09:47] or install ubuntu on hd with this programs ? [09:47] hey whats the chat command to see when the last time someone was in here was? [09:47] I know I asked this a bit ago, but how do I connect to an external monitor? [09:48] i dont have internet in 2 computer so i can download and install only on pendrive [09:48] jstoone: plug it in and it should work, but you might have to tweak the resolution settings [09:48] iFrenzy: I tried for some time ago, but it didn't do anything :S [09:48] I did like when i had multiple workspaces on ubuntu and virtualbox with xp in fullscreen on one of them, that was cool [09:49] go to monitor settings and hit detect displays [09:49] ah!.. [09:49] iFrenzy: Thanks! [09:49] jstoone: thanks [09:49] lol i just realized i'm semi good at this help stuff as long as the questions aren't too complicated l [09:50] ubuntu, if you install it on your pendrive and you have persistence (is that the right term) enabled, it should still be there the next time you boot from your usb [09:50] iFrenzy, same here. :) haven't helped out here in a while though [09:50] why would you have to have persistence if it was installed on the pen drive? [09:51] temporarytao, yes but i need it on harddisk in 2 computer without pendrive [09:51] any channel where can i trade for hacking stuff ? [09:51] iFrenzy, because, if it does not persist, the next time you boot, the installed programs are gone. [09:51] ubuntu, you can download .deb files for that then [09:52] I know, but wouldn't it be better just to use an install cd and install the system to the pen drive instead of running it like a live cd [09:52] ubuntu, but you really should try and connect to the internet once in a while to pull the latest updates [09:52] temporarytao, yes but when i use apt-get install -d i got packages are installed in newest version [09:53] iFrenzy, that's one way to go. but you need a bigger capacity usb for that. the thing with a live usb is that its good even with only 2gb [09:53] and dont download deb [09:53] that's true [09:53] does anyone knows any channel/server where i can find valid credit cards ? [09:53] pko: Thats not appropriate for this channel [09:54] iFrenzy, i use now a ubuntu from pendrive 4gb and it works ok and i can install all [09:54] lol i use to have a livecd on a pendrive in high school so i could boot the computers into ubuntu so i could bypass the internet babysitter programs [09:54] How can I start a upstart service with a separate UID? [09:54] ubuntu, no, you need to find .deb packages for the programs you want to install. [09:54] ubuntu, try this link: http://www.getdeb.net/welcome/ [09:54] btw, the screen name ubuntu wasn't reserved? [09:54] temporarytao, i find on ubuntu.packages.org [09:54] on what channel i have to go ? [09:55] but its not easy to download all packages [09:55] ubuntu, look for the files you want from there. download it, go back to your offline box and then double click to install (just like windows ") ) [09:55] Question: I have no HDMI sound output, aplay -l output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/613095/. Been searching for a solution for a while now but couldn't find anything. [09:55] and here's my alsa-info http://paste.ubuntu.com/613101/ [09:55] and here's my alsa-info http://paste.ubuntu.com/613101/ [09:55] wops [09:55] joostv: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:55] pko: No idea, but anything illegal isn't appropriate for the freenode network itself [09:55] a big mac would be really good atm [09:55] !details | Conan179 [09:55] Conan179: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [09:56] i need openjdk package but in getdeb i dont see [09:56] hey people... i have Ubuntu Server installed and plugged in via a very old nvidia card with a VGA lead into my HD TV... the best resolution I can select is 1024x768... which is the wrong aspect ratio... [09:56] and i cannot find a utility that lets me change the resolution... how can i do that? [09:56] pko: get the fuck out man, I normally try to keep in clean on here, but I hate scum like you [09:56] i understand but it must be a channel for hacking stuff somewhere [09:57] i will out chill out [09:57] pko: and if i knew one i would report it and you to the police [09:57] temporarytao, i can find on pendrive deb package if i install it at moment? in some temp folder ? [09:57] pko: There probably is, but its illegal and not allowed on the network [09:58] pko: try asking someone you can contact at fbi.gov [09:58] i am sure they will just LOVE to help [09:58] ubuntu, you just download it like you would a windows installer. you don't even have to boot to ubuntu to download it. what you'll get is a file with the extension .deb. [09:58] i'm police man people [09:59] suuurue [09:59] suuure* [09:59] pko: sure.... lol [09:59] Hi, My Mouse Freezes on Install.. I guess its the problem with my Inter D102 Motherboard, How to solve it? [09:59] you can then bring that to your computer, double click and it will hopefully install. take note, it might have to pull some dependencies which will need an internet connection [09:59] :)) [09:59] they get dumber and dumber every day... [09:59] that's right [09:59] thrillERboy, you tried removing then plugging back? [09:59] pko: well I have ur ip and i'm forwarding it to the fbi, I'm sure they'll be able to sort out if you're police or not [09:59] temporarytao, yes i know i install now openjdk on pendrive, maby synaptic have in temporary folder this deb's [09:59] anyway some heroin where i can find [09:59] yes temporarytao I have this problem forever [09:59] let's move on [10:00] did someone block him? [10:00] I literally tried like 20 times [10:00] ubuntu, try that link i gave you [10:00] yes i check and no openjdk ther [10:00] thrillERboy, what kind of mouse have you got? [10:00] I tried with both PS2 Logintech and USB Dell [10:00] According to Ikhaya Oneiric UDS recommends to priorize Thunderbird for Evolution. What is the reason? [10:00] ubuntu, try searching google for openjdk deb installer [10:01] All two black mouse :D [10:01] bullgard4: a lot of people prefer thunderbird [10:01] bullgard4: but do you know if it has a built in calendar? [10:01] thrillERboy, both are ps2? [10:01] temporarytao, openjdk need many another packages i dont know how auto download it all [10:01] No temporarytao I tried with both USB and ps2 mouse, both behaves the same way [10:02] If I pop in ubuntu 8.04, it works fine... but the latest version of ubuntus are having problem. [10:02] ubuntu, yep, that's a problem. :) i recommend you bring your machine somewhere where you can get online and install from there. i'm sure there's a solution to this, though. i'm just not hardcore enough for it [10:02] iFrenzy: Is this reason enough? -- I did not use Thunderbird often. I believe that I have heard that Thuderbirds now supports collaborative working better, and this should include a calendar. [10:02] Hi, im copying a 2.6 GB file to a USB Drive , but the file operation is hanging at 0 Seconds Left..2.6 GB of 2.6 GB Copied...any advice on how to complete the process? [10:03] thrillERboy, maybe an incompatibility problem. is it getting detected? [10:03] ashmew2_: use rsync for large files [10:03] MonkeyDust how ? [10:03] How to check that temporarytao ?? The cursor appears, but doesn't moves. [10:03] ashmew2_: if the file system on the USB drive is FAT32, max file size is 2 GB [10:03] rsync file source target [10:04] ashmew2_: rsync file source target [10:04] you know what pisses me off, you install ubuntu and it still has to download a gazillion files in the setup process, would they just put it on a dvd already [10:04] szal:but the files have to be read by a DVD player , anything except FAT32 wont work..

Cannot find list of partitions ! [10:05] what does it mean when the ubuntu live cd stops loading at a command line that says / [10:05] ashmew2_: no [10:05] can someone help me fix this? [10:05] lol but they can have you download them during the install? [10:05] !grub2 | plum [10:05] plum: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [10:06] is there anyway, I can login with commandi prompt with ubuntu bootable USB? [10:06] ubottu on it again lol [10:06] iFrenzy: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:06] ubottu i'm fully aware of that [10:06] iFrenzy: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:06] how to make the computer remember all the running application when shut down, so that next time I can boot in and the system open the application automaticlly? [10:08] ouyes: set session type to Last Saved (should be configurable either in the display manager or in the logout dialog) [10:08] ouyes: System > Preferences > Startup Applications > (Startup Prefernces Applications) > Options > Automatically remember running applications whenlogging out > Assert. [10:09] bullgard4, it is logging out, I mean when I shut down the system/ [10:10] ouyes: I do not understand you. Say it in other words, please. [10:10] To install java i downloaded the self extracting file and extracted successfully to /usr/bin/java/. Now I'm trying to open the ControlPanel which I can see using ls, but when I type ./ControlPanel it says no such file or directory? (totally new to linux, using tinycore but i'm guessing it's the same idea) [10:11] bullgard4, I mean there are some applications running right now in my computer, I am about to shut down the system then boot , I hope when I boot again , the system will open all the applications I open last time/ [10:12] ouyes: Yes. And I gave you the recipe for solving this task. [10:13] i've created a new user and i set his home dir, now everything that i put on my home dir i see on my desktop, how can i fix that? [10:13] bullgard4, it said, it is for logging out but I need shut down, I think logging out is different from shut down? [10:14] bullgard4, ok wait a few minutes I will reboot to see if you are right [10:14] i want to show file on my desktop only those that i put in the desktop dir [10:14] ouyes: no, it isn't, in order to shut down you need to log out first, so on shutdown you're automatically logged out [10:14] files* === SyGeek is now known as FusionX [10:15] any1? [10:15] does keyring hold anything besides passwords to wifi networks? [10:16] lubuntu [10:16] xubuntu [10:16] iFrenzy, i know it holds svn passwords as well [10:16] bjr tout le monde [10:16] wait, no, usernames === sebner_ is now known as sebner [10:16] hey how do I set a mysql username and password? [10:16] just wondering up until 11.04 it was really annoying because it would ask you for your keyring password every time you logged on to get on your wifi network === voxcrm is now known as supervagabond [10:19] hi === hacknet is now known as newbies [10:19] skilz: use phpmyadmin or mysql === newbies is now known as newbiez [10:19] i heard a little while back that ubuntu 11.10 will have(or at least give the option of) using a Gnome 3 desktop, is that true? [10:20] samo502: I heard that too and I definitely hope so [10:20] samo502: you can get it on 11.04 through a ppa are you interested? === TheRAt is now known as TheRAt|AWAY [10:20] iFrenzy: i did look into it after i heard about it [10:21] hi do i get help for ubuntu here? [10:21] iFrenzy: it seems more well put together than unity in a way [10:21] or is this a general chatroom and there's a special help channel [10:21] TScorpZ: this is the ubuntu help channel so yeah [10:21] samo502: oh yeah, unity blows [10:21] How do I fix this? PHP does not have MySQL support enabled.? [10:22] iFrenzy: i'll check up on that in google, i'm sure there's a guide or two around [10:22] skilz: I'm thinking that doesn't really fall into the help provided in this channel [10:22] skilz: you'll probably want to find a PHP help channel if not a webmaster help channel/forum [10:22] yeah its like 4 commands in the terminal and a restart, i'm running it now it sgreat [10:22] iFrenzy: I don't know where else to ask sorr [10:23] its for apache [10:23] skilz: install php mysql support with sudo apt-get install php5-mysql [10:23] skilz: I've got a friend that could probably help you but i'm quite sure he's asleep [10:23] SystemError: Failed to fetch http://id.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/update-notifier/update-notifier-common_0.111ubuntu2_all.deb The HTTP server sent an invalid Content-Range header [IP: 91.189.92.162 80] --> this happened when i tried to install a driver on my laptop. any fix for this ?

A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [10:25] they're more stable than unity was for me [10:25] can I make the 11.04 desktop look like the old style? [10:25] !classic | dobblego [10:25] dobblego: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. [10:26] dobblego: yes, it's pretty easy [10:26] ok thanks [10:26] dobbiego: change to classic when you log in down at the bottom [10:26] what about when running live? [10:26] dobbiego: now that's a good one i don't know === Viliny_ is now known as Viliny [10:27] ok cheers [10:27] hello [10:27] hello [10:28] schnuffle: Im still getting the same problem, anything else I need to do? [10:29] how do i connect my printer from my laptop through my desktop win 7? [10:29] using samba [10:29] it seems its not working [10:30] How do I change my password? The current password contains special characters and nickserv can't identify it. [10:30] :( [10:30] skilz: what kind of error? [10:30] anyone know when alpha's and such are coming out for 11.10? [10:30] me>? [10:31] iFrenzy: so after gnome 3 is installed it installs over unity and becomes the default? or does it take setting an option like using classic does? [10:31] iFrenzy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricReleaseSchedule [10:31] iFrenzy: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/ubuntu-11-10-release-schedule/ [10:31] schnuffle: PHP does not have MySQL support enabled. [10:31] samo502: you won't be able to use gnome classic anymore and unity works for some and for some it doesn't [10:32] iFrenzy: ah, well that's fine with me [10:32] ola wpa< [10:32] samo502: for me, unity still works but others claim it breaks their unity [10:32] i just do not like unity, use gnome [10:32] schnuffle: do i have to edit something in the apache configs? [10:32] it there a room for newbies ubuntu users? [10:32] skilz: how do you use php? mod-php or cgi? Check the php.ini to see if the module is loaded [10:33] samo502: its funny you're asking though because i'm in the process of putting gnome 3 on a laptop right now [10:33] !ask| newbiez [10:33] newbiez: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:33] iFrenzy: even if something does happen i really don't have much on this partition that i don't on my windows partition, so i can just reinstall ubuntu without much issue [10:33] skilz: schnuffle: Try compiling PHP with ./configure --with-mysql. [10:33] samo502: have you watched videos on gnome 3 [10:33] Then write a short script that sends php_info() to the screen. [10:34] iFrenzy: yeah i watched the ones on the gnome 3 site [10:34] samo502: its really cool but takes a couple days of getting used to [10:34] php_info tells what is in/supported. [10:34] You'll also have to include the php...so module in httpd.conf. [10:35] as in the LoadModule directive. [10:36] how do i connect my printer from my laptop through my desktop win 7? -- samba detects my desktop but cant connect my printer [10:36] It's described on PHP, MySQL (most likely), and Apache pages. Or search the Internet with the proper parameters. [10:37] I user PostgreSQL and had few problems installing it.

Is it a problem that I am no longer running a server kernel? [10:42] i can't find a software that has good functions for printing pdf files... [10:42] Hi guys [10:42] i am still stuck [10:42] someone PLEASE help me [10:42] Hi all, I had lucid NFSroot boot over network using PXE on a cluster of machines at my uni. I chrooted into the exported filesystem and did a general update, and now the cluster machines won't boot. The initrd loads fine, but boot fails when the rootfs needs to be mounted over NFS. Boot just stops, I can't find any error messages. Any ideas? [10:42] when i switch on the PC, the login screen is not coming, just a blank black screen comes. it was all fine untill yesterday. (i did sudo apt-get upgrade yesterday, that seems to cause the issue) [10:43] guglu, were you using Wubi? [10:43] guglu: try booting in recovery mode [10:44] I remember reading about a bug in older versions of Wubi that meant you shouldn't upgrade the grub package [10:44] correct me if i'm wrong, but windows' boot manager always boots from a CD if one is available, correct? [10:44] i dont even know what Wubi is [10:44] notostraca2: [10:45] guglu, it is a windows installer for ubuntu [10:45] MonkeyDust: with recovery mode too, nothing happens. it just stands still at a position [10:45] guglu: wubi is the executable that autoruns when you put a liveCD in [10:45] no i dont use such things [10:45] (while on windows) [10:45] ewww windows ;) [10:45] i have been at it for more than 5 hours now :( [10:45] see [10:45] windows is working fine [10:45] and as far as ubuntu is concerned, all the files are there and safe [10:45] yeah but it is eeewwww [10:46] ;) [10:46] this guy Herbs helped me a lot, but we couldnt fix it :( [10:46] i am so tired , and tensed and nervous :( [10:46] and i am at work! [10:46] whatwhatw00t: i gave my friend an ubuntu livecd to try and it refuses to boot into it at all, all my computers have ubuntu and i only use windows when absolutely necessary : [10:46] :) [10:46] please help me someone [10:46] i think the issue is with the login screen === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [10:46] maybe gdm [10:46] dont know, :( [10:46] How do I restore the menu in Ubuntu? Currently I have a bar on the left hand side with Firefox, Libre Writer, Libre Calc, Ubuntu Software Center, Ubuntu One, etc. If I want to open a program that is not on that menu, I have to hit the + button and choose from all possible programs. I want to restore categories (i.e. my MuseScore program should be in the sound and video category, Libre + should be in the office category, and so forth) [10:47] guglu, have you tried the various F1, F2, etc. keys when turning the computer on? [10:47] bridean: you mean the original look? [10:47] yes, f2 will get me into BIOS [10:47] !classic | bridean [10:47] bridean: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. [10:47] Samo: Yes, or at least a more convenient look than the "new" look [10:48] guglu: Is it a BIOS or a Ubuntu problem? [10:48] it is ubuntu problem [10:48] hi [10:48] I have a problem with symlinks and home user encrypted content. I receive the following message : "Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible" I link /home/user/test to /var/www/test , the problem seems to have a link with ubuntu default crypto on this user. Any suggest please ? [10:48] i did a sudo apt-get upgrade yesterday [10:48] If I can put programs into categories with !Unity, then I would like to do that. I don't want to search through 90 different programs to find the one I want [10:48] it had completed, while i continued to work [10:48] today when i came at work and switched on the computer NO LOGIN SCREEN :( [10:48] bridean: from what i've seen you can't [10:49] guglu: System->Administration->login screen, perhaps? [10:49] guglu: maybe the option got ticked to automatically log in? [10:49] Samo: So how is !Unity better? [10:49] i dont know Samo502 [10:49] stercor: but i cant even login, so where would the menus come from ? :| [10:49] the grub loader comes, i select UBuntu and then a blank black screen [10:49] thats it [10:49] and it has a cursor thats meant for no job [10:49] bridean: personally i don't care for it, i'm installing gnome 3 right now and i'm gonna see how i like it [10:50] stercor, guglu is getting a black screen it seems [10:50] i can type in and write stories but no sense [10:50] guglu: Can you get a terminal (Alt-F1)? [10:50] F2, F3, F4, F5... [10:50] none of them works [10:50] i didnt try alt + f1 thi [10:50] tho [10:50] Samo502: Gotta agree with you there. Just like I don't think grub2 is an improvement over grub, I don't think !Unity is an improvement over Classic [10:50] i got a terminal screen by editing the grub [10:50] typing e and then init=/bin/bash [10:50] and ctrl+x [10:50] guglu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:50] where sudo wont work :| [10:51] FloodBot1: sorry [10:51] Flood [10:51] hope i make sense [10:51] guglu: How about su? [10:51] FloodBot1: Do you have enough water? [10:51] anything should i set to my windows 7 to connect to my printer? [10:51] stercor: then do what ? [10:51] guglu: at the grub screen edit the boot line to remove 'splash' and if it isn't there add 'verbose'. then reboot and see if the resulting log info helps determine the problem [10:51] i didnt try though [10:51] FloodBot1 is automatic, guglu -- robots accept no apologies and give no mercy :-) [10:52] sorry [10:52] anything should i set to my windows 7 to connect to my printer? [10:52] no worries! [10:52] th0r: wait, it has splash, i will remove that and add verose and reboot [10:52] guglu: 'verbose' [10:52] Provide the root password. Ubuntu, of course, makes it impossible to guess. That's the reason I `sudo passwd root' to give it a usable password. [10:52] my laptop ubuntu cant detect my printer [10:52] HongKong_ellery: that sounds like a windows7 issue [10:53] stercor: bash: no job controll allowed [10:53] th0r: its quiet splash [10:53] do i change that to quiet verbose ? [10:54] guglu: take out quiet and splash and add 'verbose' [10:54] ok [10:54] and then ctrl+x am i rightr ? [10:54] opss [10:54] guglu: I'm out of my league now. Good luck, and I'll be watching to see whether you get resolution. [10:54] thor [10:54] guglu: that should result in scrolling text as it boots into ubuntu. See what it says when it stops [10:54] win 7 issue [10:54] do you know how to resolve it? [10:55] :( [10:55] HongKong_ellery: now how would we know anything about windows7? [10:55] or alternative? [10:56] th0r: there are some messages [10:56] that dont make much sense to em [10:56] HongKong_ellery: win is not supported here [10:56] seems like starting of procedd ids [10:56] like X-Session etc. [10:56] ok monkey [10:56] stercor: i just hope to get it solved, cause reinstalling will be a HUGE PAIN ATM [10:57] i love ubuntu im learning from it.. but i have to use windows for my desktop , all i want to connect my ubuntu though my printer [10:57] guglu: I understand. I used to be working on a problem, and some VP would be breathing down my neck saying, ``When will it be fixed?'' [10:57] HongKong_ellery: can you be a bit more presice about connecting what to what? [10:58] kinda same here [10:58] and already spent around 6 hoursx actually [10:58] reinstalling might take few days, i am sure [10:58] Oh. [10:58] i know the issue is somewhere related to login screens, oh man, i wish someone could really help me solve it :( [10:58] im at work at the moment.. [10:58] :( [10:59] I'm _not_ at work. Retired a few years ago. :-) [10:59] heh [10:59] HongKong_ellery: Your problem is that you have a dual boot PC and in Ubuntu the printer is not working or is it a network prionter? === GrundoX[sleep] is now known as GrundoX [11:00] guglu: Now, if it were MVS, z/OS, or the like, I might be able to help. [11:00] stercor: lol [11:00] schnuffle: You old, too? [11:01] th0r: any idea ? [11:01] stercor: not as old but nearly :) [11:01] is the printer on fire? [11:01] guglu: I am still waiting for you to tell me the last entry on screen when it froze [11:01] schnuffle: My first computer programming was punched cards on an IBM 1620. [11:01] ohh [11:02] stercor: lets move it over to #ubuntu-offtopic, in here only support [11:02] schnuffle: However, I _never_ wired plugboards. [11:02] adding swap on /dev/sda6 [11:02] th0r: [11:02] schnuffle: Sorry, I'll shut up. [11:02] guglu: and then it just froze there? [11:02] stercor: no go ahead but on ubuntu-offtopic [11:03] yes [11:03] tholl583xx: [11:03] th0r: [11:03] schnuffle: Nah, there's more interesting information here. [11:03] :( [11:03] guglu: how many users do you have? [11:03] only 1 [11:04] stercor: of course but you can be connected to more than one channel :) [11:04] guglu: Can you get minimal functionality with a re-install? [11:04] guglu: Then add stuff as time goes by? And the user won't know the difference? [11:05] no i cant, stercor [11:05] :S [11:05] guglu: What a position to be in! [11:06] please dont make me laugh [11:06] guglu: you write so much I couldn't even figure your problem [11:06] yes, because i am little nervous, time wont stop :( [11:06] it keeps on flying, i will re-explain [11:06] guglu: just give a short description of the problem again [11:08] yesterday everything was fine, i did a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade. both of them had completed and i was working working working, all ok. then i logged out the "normal" login screen was different, but i did not care and switched off and went home. today when i came to office and switched on the GRUB LOADER came, i choose ubuntu and then the screen freezes. [11:08] logged out and noticed that the* [11:08] login/logout screen* [11:08] is it possible to upgrade from 10.04 64 bit to 11.04 32-bit ? [11:08] hope i make sense schnuffle [11:09] well i'm in gnome 3 now [11:09] BKTech86: no, you need to do a fresh install to change architecture [11:09] and i gotta say this is really, really nice [11:09] tsimpson: is it possible to do that without a cd/usb drive [11:09] guglu: Yep, so now first you need to know what happened. Can you start your ubuntu in save mode? [11:10] guglu: if not, get a live usb key boot with it and chroot into your system [11:10] i guess you mean recovery mode, but the same thing happens in recovery mode too, few lines get printed (like what process started and all) and then it freeszes [11:10] ok so don't accidentally go to virtualbox.com instead of virtualbox.org you'll get a big suprize if you do [11:11] i might have a live 9.10 cd, have to find. ohh there are so many racks, cd boxes and cds :| [11:11] BKTech86: see the "Installation without a CD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [11:11] guglu: okay, I would go the usb route. You have to know which partitions are used for your system. Do you have one partition plus swap? [11:12] quite a few partitions (i was not the one who setup the system) [11:12] 6 of them i guess [11:12] silly question I can't seem to find the answer for with a quick google: is there a way I can reset my zoom level without using the mouse? [11:13] I zoomed in on display A and now for some reason my mouse is stuck on display B :( [11:13] well, i dont get a terminal, with ctrl+alt+f1 :( [11:14] guglu: imagine you have a root-partion and a /boot partion, you start live system, you mount your root part. somewhere ( e.g. sudo mount /dev/sdx /mnt ), you mount your boot partition ( e.g. mount /dev/sdx2 /mnt/boot ), you chroot into it ( chroot /mnt ) and then you can check your system [11:15] hmmm [11:15] hi all, whats this problem : number=$[ $RANDOM % 31 ] && sudo update-alternatives --set default.plymouth /lib/plymouth/themes/$number/$number.plymouth [11:15] start live system means use the live cd or is it something else ? i am not a linux/ubuntu guru again please [11:15] guglu: yes [11:16] ok [11:16] let me first hunt the live cd, then i can get back to know more :) thanks [11:16] pishguy: is it a problem?

For installing Gnome3 on Ubuntu 10.04, a lot of how-tos tell you to add the Gnome3 ppa and install from there. What's the difference between that and installing from the Ubuntu repos?

[12:35] TheLostSoul: what do you mean with just the terminal? [12:35] TheLostSoul: sudo apt-get update [12:35] schnuffle: well im on a terminal right now [12:36] TheLostSoul: normalyy its sudo apt-get update && sudo upgrade [12:36] schnuffle: using irssi and im executing the commands in anotehr terminal [12:36] TheLostSoul: will update your local repo list... is what i use personally for my weekly update [12:36] TheLostSoul: So you have a X session with a terminal but you miss the rest of the desktop? [12:37] schnuffle: no in safe mode the desktop exists but isnt functional, liek i can open firefox but it doesnt work or software center [12:38] theres the 'make a new user and see if stuff works for them' test. [12:38] TheLostSoul: aah, okay so I'm right. One thing to test: what happens when you do a apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [12:38] Hi! I've configured "Rear Microphone" as input device in Gnome settings, but everytime I reboot it defaults back to "Analog input". How can I permanently save this? [12:38] schnuffle:k 1 sec [12:38] I'm attempting to set up internet connection sharing between two machines in my LAN. The newer one has wifi(802.11G) and an onboard ethernet. The older one has just a via-rhine ethernet card. Currently, my network goes modem>netgear 802.11n router>lucid w/G>linksys 802.11b router(wifi disabled)>lucid without wifi...i've been following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing , but when i get to Configure routing(3rd step under Cli [12:39] hello, any one else having problem with skype ? [12:39] schnuffle: says its the newest [12:39] Hyperbyte: it's safe to say you're using gnome 2? [12:40] hi. I'm trying to modify a XML file in an ubuntu server that has no access to Internet. Which program can I use? I've tried VIM but it's not installe.d [12:40] schnuffle: i have the x config file open, what sort of things would i be looking for as an error [12:40] chepre: my skype beta 2.1.0.81 works fine [12:40] TheLostSoul: You get to the login screen at normal boot? Can you choose classic mode at the bottom before you login? [12:40] TheLostSoul: the config file or the log? [12:40] novitololo: any text editor can do it.. yu could use sshfs and access th remote machine as if it was a local directory and use a local text editor [12:40] sshfs [12:40] ok [12:41] schnuffle: the log sorry, and yes ive tried classical, safe mode is the only one that works i think [12:41] dr_willis I was asking which text editors are by default in ubuntu server [12:41] novitololo: no idea. Install some.. I find it hard to belive that vi is not installed by default [12:41] me too [12:41] well thank you [12:41] vi and nano would be my guess [12:41] gedit? [12:42] any up-to-date documentation on connecting to the internet via 3G modem wireless? [12:42] Samo502: Edubuntu 11.04, Gnome 2 [12:42] TheLostSoul: checl the log for ERROR/fail ...... [12:43] novitololo: i think vi is installed by default just not vim [12:43] Hyperbyte: if the mic gets unplugged at some point it would probably default back to the analog option [12:43] schnuffle: is there a key combination to search the file? or do i have to manually scroll it? [12:43] that's right schnuffle. [12:43] My vbox guest ubuntu hangs after some time (2.6.38-8.server) usually when the screen saver is running. Anyone has debugged this before? [12:44] Samo502, well, it's inside an LTSP environment. So it's safe to say the mic gets reset every reboot. [12:44] default vi is normally vim-light :) [12:44] TheLostSoul: with vi? type / and the the word you search for. another /+return will search for the next occurence [12:44] Samo502, could I set this to autoconfigure everytime, on Gnome login, for example? I already have a startup script that runs on Gnome start, if this can be set via command-line I could do it from there. [12:45] schnuffle: no i have the file open in gedit [12:45] !vimtutor [12:45] vimtutor is an excellent tool for learning how to use vim. It can be found in the vim-full package, among others. [12:45] Hyperbyte: system>prefs>startup applications [12:45] you can plug your script into that [12:45] Hyperbyte: that is a good idea [12:45] vu1kan: read the original question, up there ^^. :) I have a problem with some Gnome setting not stored. [12:46] Hyperbyte: and there probably is a way to set it via command line [12:46] skype crashes on startup, teminal says aborted, help! [12:46] Okay... so I guess then my question becomes, how can I set the default input device in Gnome via command line? :) [12:46] gorski, everyone seems to have this problem [12:46] Hyperbyte: i noticed...your mic port switching...i hate to say it, but google about for the CLI input, build a custom script and plug it into the startup app utility [12:46] windows/ios/ubuntu [12:46] chepre: o, this is new? [12:47] gorski, yep [12:47] ok [12:47] tnx [12:47] gorski, started like 15 min ago [12:47] vu1kan, well, I was looking at pactl. I already figured out how to set the volume, but not a clue about the input device. I'm fairly new to PulseAudio. [12:48] Is there a video compiz plugin for natty? [12:48] gorski, chepre: my skype (beta) 2.1.0.81 installed from the .deb off skype.com works just fine [12:48] schnuffle: Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0) [12:49] but i don't have it set to autolaunch at boot [12:49] hi, I've just installed Natty, and my 2nd monitor was not being identified, so I installed the nvidia drivers. Now, whenever I login, my screen goes black and I get returned back to the login screen [12:49] vu1kan, try to restart it ;) [12:49] i have, about six times...works just like it should [12:49] I can still use ctrl+alt+f1 to go to the TTY1 terminal, and can login from there [12:49] TheLostSoul: aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh :) So you have a ATI graphic card [12:49] schnuffle: yes i have a radeon 3450 [12:50] skype - m$ has his deal? [12:50] thanks for help guys. [12:50] Hello! Maybe not suitable here but il givit a try! im trying to notify on a event using pyhton. http://paste.pound-python.org/show/7238/ But im doing this in a loop, so that each item is displayed after each other. I would like to create a list, eg. multiple notifys in a list way, but closing the notify if open would work as well. What am i doing wrong. Plus, the timeout doesnt seem to work. The notifier is up in more than 100 mili secs. Cheers [12:51] schnuffle: is there a way of installing the driver from command line? if i remember i installed the driver before i upgraded to unity or 11.04 last time [12:51] pythonirc101, if by vbox you mean virtualbox, it may be because you don't have guest additional installed and turn off the screensaver would be my hint - no point to it anyway, but those are just guesses. [12:51] TheLostSoul: I just check [12:51] schnuffle: okay thanks alot XD [12:52] I've randomly lost sound on my ubuntu partition (well I say randomly, obviously something triggered it but I have no idea what). Any suggestions to fix it? I literally have no idea why sound doesn't output so dunno where to start [12:52] TheLostSoul: 32bit? [12:52] schnuffle: yup [12:52] http://www.skype.com/ won't open, maybe a server problem. [12:52] Does anyone know where the compiz video plugin went? [12:52] from my terminal, if I do "sudo apt-get remove nvidia[tab]" I get suggested -common, -current, -settings -- I'm a bit worried about removing those [12:52] gorsky, i had the same problem [12:53] ntr0py: check the package manaer - it may not be installed by default [12:53] hello [12:53] hugo___, you need to break your problem up into chunks and solve them individually - google will probably have an answer to just about every chunked question. If not, then 1) retry your search, then 2) read python docs, then 3) python irc channel [12:54] hello [12:54] i start my PC -> grub loader comes -> i select ubuntu -> no login screen comes :( HELP!!! [12:54] guglu: what does come, and please stop with the HELP!!!!! stuff [12:54] guglu: press alt+f2 and type sudo gdm [12:54] blank screen, freezes [12:55] halvor: that doesnt loads the terminal [12:55] ikonia: i am sorry, but really situation is not great.

[12:56] schnuffle: 1 minute ill brb [12:56] TheLostSoul: then how do you chat? [12:56] delinquentme: restart your computer [12:56] delinquentme: other users are reporting similar issues...i'm not experiencing it myself [12:57] deliquentme: hat the same problem [12:57] ohhhhh [12:57] delinquentme: start it from a terminal. look for error messages [12:57] schnuffle: im on irssi, im on a terminal [12:57] ...yet... [12:57] ho ho! [12:57] opps skype!!!! [12:57] BLAM " Aborted" [12:57] should i run it with a particular tag? [12:58] TheLostSoul: so you're online, use screen to multipley your terminal, then you can use one window to chat and another to download the stuff [12:58] fx1: what ? [12:58] multiplex [12:58] "sudo skype -v" or something [12:58] schnuffle: i can browse the internet in a terminal? [12:58] can not use skype [12:58] fx1, yeah im there w you [12:58] skype not loading it is aborting, I ran it from the terminal and it aborted there too [12:58] * delinquentme coughs microsoft [12:59] delinquentme, i agree its MS [12:59] safiyyah, right there w you [12:59] I know MS killed skype for Asterisk yesterday. [12:59] TheLostSoul: of course, there's lynx to do that and screen is a tool that gives you several windows in a terminal [12:59] so has anyone found a way to force it [12:59] I remember a force command ages ago [12:59] schnuffle: lynx? [12:59] TheLostSoul: and as I gave you the URL you can use wget to download it [12:59] except I dont remember it [13:00] TheLostSoul: yes it's a terminal based web browser [13:00] Does Natty compiz have not a video plugin anymore? [13:00] TheLostSoul: in the end your system'll still don't work but you'll have become a linux guru :) [13:01] reinstalling skype doesn't help either [13:02] hello.. is anybody here to help me with something? === herton_ is now known as herton [13:02] !anyone | example92 [13:02] example92: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[13:12] schnuffle, but is it the protocol, or is it the qt libts update? [13:13] schnuffle: im not searching with the terminal im using "additional drivers" from System > administration [13:13] schnuffle: ill try searching it on the terminal [13:13] StR: don't know mine is running, just installed it on lubuntu natty. That could be a hint that QT might be a problem [13:14] schnuffle: no response just went straight to the next line [13:14] schnuffle, could you update your package list and see the proposals for upgrade? to see if I could downgrade mines? I just need to know which ones they are [13:14] TheLostSoul: wait I'll check on my laptop [13:14] schnuffle: okie dokie, could i use the apt-get install fgrlx?

[13:17] Str: that's the one I have and which is the latest as well [13:20] schnuffle, I found in /var/log/apt/history.log that I upgraded yesterday from libqt4-* 4.7.2-0ubuntu6 to 4.7.2-0ubuntu6.1 [13:20] how can I return to 4.7.2-0ubuntu6 ? [13:21] Hello. I completely remove samba from my system (11.04) but when I hit the "network" icon in nautilus I still can browse the shares of a windows computer on the network, how is that possible?

I'm trying to return to 4.7.2-0ubuntu6 instead of 4.7.2-0ubuntu6.1 [13:23] Str: I think it's more of a network problem [13:23] and all it says in the terminal if i try to start it is "interrupted" [13:23] StR: how to do such thing? [13:23] choronzon, tha's due to the default smb app on your machine [13:23] schnuffle, your's stopped working too? [13:24] Keep in mind skype was jsut bought by microsoft [13:24] halvor: I don [13:24] skype works fine for me [13:24] halvor: I don't know, I'm onit [13:24] No mine works but maybe because I'm based in germany [13:24] it's still sh*t though :P [13:24] maedox_: just testing jitsi as alternative [13:24] BluesKaj, thanks for you answer. is that an application I need to remove as well if I want to get rid of samba entirely? [13:24] schnuffle, I'm based in Guatemala... :P what's the difference?

[13:25] Str: A lot of people just show up to report sykpe broken and not all of them because of a update. So my guess is that it has more to do with the skype network having problems === KNUBBIG is now known as KNUBBIG_ [13:26] choronzon, well, if don't want to use smb to connect to windows pcs , then yes but I know of no other easy way to access windows [13:26] So it could be that the skype node you're connecting to has problems and mine is still fine === FusionX|SyGeek is now known as SyGeek1 === michael is now known as Guest17537 === SyGeek1 is now known as SyGeek === Israfel_ is now known as Israfel [13:27] Hi [13:27] schnuffle: jitsi seems nice.

(linux n00b here :) ) [13:27] choronzon: a good way to access windows is hfs. it's a very small web server that serves files and has virtual folder support [13:28] choronzon, smb is the daemon , samba is the gui ...it's a matter od semantics [13:28] Is there a better doc for setting up a multi virtual domain email server than http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/#config-simple-firewall? That one actually looks pretty good and is up to date, I'm just curious. [13:28] aaronb3rg: nothing wrong there. [13:28] maedox_: haven't tested it yet. My aim is to completly switch to jabber ( running own server ) as soon as voice works good [13:28] schnuffle: no luck :( [13:28] do I need LVM when using ubuntu as a vbox guest? [13:29] maedox_: then why 383092/6553600 instead of 6553600/6553600 ? :) [13:29] schnuffle: any idea the command is to activate the driver? [13:29] aaronb3rg: used/total [13:29] bencc: no, you don't need it, you can choose to use it if you want it [13:29] TheLostSoul: damned what did it tell you? Check the X logs [13:29] maedox_: ohh, so i can have 6553600 max files ? [13:29] ikonia: what does it give me? [13:30] aaronb3rg: yes [13:30] TheLostSoul: Do you have a xorg.conf? If yes move it away and retest [13:30] schnuffle: okay, i pressume its the same file though i think i need to activate this driver [13:30] and what are blocks maedox_ ? [13:30] bencc: if you are asking, you don't need it [13:30] BluesKaj: samba is the smb/cifs server name, smb is just one daemon. "GUI" would be swat [13:30] schnuffle: where do i find it?

[13:31] TheLostSoul: /etc/X11 if you have one [13:31] aaronb3rg: the minimum amount of space that can be allocated on disk. If a file is smaller than the block size, it takes a whole block. [13:31] ikonia: good answer :) [13:31] llutz_, right ,but we're talking about samba and smb and the relationship as gui vs daemon [13:31] BluesKaj: samba has no gui [13:32] thank you maedox_ :) [13:32] schnuffle: i have the folder [13:32] TheLostSoul: which packages got install? only fglrx or fglrx-modaliases and fglrx-amdcccle as well? [13:32] llutz_: there is the "SWAT" web interface [13:32] schnuffle: just the first one [13:32] BluesKaj: smb is an (outdated) protocol, samba provides it [13:32] The install the other ones as well [13:32] schnuffle: should i install all 3 and then modify something in the x11 folder? [13:33] ikonia: as i mentioned before. but its external, doesn't come with samba [13:33] well . what's the samba shares icon , we can split hairs if we want. llutz_ ..it's like a giu as opposed to the cli [13:33] samba as package [13:33] llutz_: sorry, I wasn't following the full conversation [13:34] TheLostSoul: no, just install all three and then launch the fglrc control center [13:34] BluesKaj: i'd call it a nautilus/gnome extension offering the smb-share functionality [13:34] schnuffle, hfs is a mac /apple filesystem [13:34] hi there [13:34] good afternoon [13:34] skype has suddenly started crashing [13:34] oh yeah , functionality, mustn't forget that word [13:34] I fill login details and it closes [13:34] i am a new user of ubuntu and dont know anything about linux [13:35] is there anyone with advanced knowledge that could help a bit?

[13:36] i cant get to install either version 10.10 or 11.04 [13:36] even from a usb stick installation my pc refuses to boot [13:37] silv3r_m00n: They're having an outage, see: https://twitter.com/#!/Skype [13:37] schnuffle: well its being very busy at the moment so fingers crossed [13:37] any ideas anyone? [13:37] is it possible to rsync to two targets simultaneously, instead of copying the backup to another location? [13:37] hi is gnome 3 supported?? from ubuntu?? [13:37] dionyssis75: did you try to boot with a CD [13:38] !gnome3 | megabraker [13:38] megabraker: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [13:38] ah balls. I'm just going to re-reinstall [13:38] :( [13:38] MonkeyDust: no, it doesn't split, but you maybe able to script it as a 2 pass process [13:38] anybody know about some weird black dots on the screen ?? [13:38] what's the reason behind that ? [13:38] hello is there solution for latest version of skype crashing on amd64: Corrupt JPEG data: 3205 extraneous bytes before marker 0xd9 [13:38] my pc refuses to boot either from cd or usb installation [13:38] it just freezes after the first 10 lines of commands [13:38] silv3r_m00n: reason behind what ? [13:38] dionyssis75: that sounds like you made an error creating both [13:38] the usb i tried is a preinstalled 11.04 that works on 4 other pc's [13:39] skype outage [13:39] miha: They're having an outage, see: https://twitter.com/#!/Skype [13:39] dionyssis75: aah, so it boots but the boot process fails? [13:39] dionyssis75: it's possible it's not compatible out of the box with your ati video card [13:39] silv3r_m00n: email skype support, ask them [13:39] * vu1kan loves copy & paste to peices [13:39] vu1kan: why i think it's evil M$ buying skype to lock us out? ;) [13:39] miha: please don't make silly comments like that [13:39] the lists of ubuntu hardware compatibility say [13:39] ok [13:40] that it is fully compatible with radeon 4650 chipset [13:40] tsk, tsk...software is neither good, nor evil...it's the intent of the user that determines it's ultimate alignment [13:40] dionyssis75: that doesn't mean out of the box [13:40] when i put the usb that works on the other 4 pc and try to boot i get the initial purple screen and then it freezes there with no error msg or nothing [13:40] just stops booting [13:41] schnuffle: okay fglrx-amdcccle and fglrx but the modualalias doesnt work says its not needed anyway, how do i use the fglrx config? [13:41] i was advised to try the alternative CD installation of version 10.10 with option "noapic" [13:41] do you like the wall paper that is offered at the start? [13:41] i dod so and installed on an empty harddrive [13:41] it seemed to go ok and then i was asked to reboot [13:41] TheLostSoul: start the config center fglrx-amdcccle [13:41] i just changed that [13:42] when i did it never booted [13:42] and feel the OS is impressive otherwise [13:42] :) [13:42] hi guys, i am following these steps http://www.gedda.info/?p=132 i have downloaded and installed the driver but when i add the printer i get an error "Printer 'AL-CX11' requires the 'pstoalcx11.sh' program but it is not currently installed. Please install it before using this printer." (there is a file pstoalcx11.sh inside the directory where i extracted the driver) [13:42] fglrx-amdcccle [13:42] i got error msg on the purple screen and i tried again and again and it never worked [13:42] dionyssis75: have you tried to use the save mode hit F4 during boot options [13:43] schnuffle: whats the command? [13:43] F4 on which installation? === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [13:43] do you mean using the alternative cd install or the comon one? [13:43] TheLostSoul: I don'T know: sudo updatedb && locate fglrx | [13:43] I was told there is an ssd in one of some servers in the datacenter. how to find out in which one. Tryied with dmesg. But I got no clue :/ [13:44] schnuffle: for the config file? [13:44] schnuffle: im confused [13:44] using the alternative cd of version 10.10 the installation completed with sucsess on the empty hard disk but when i was asked to restart it never booted [13:44] dionyssis75: when the usb stick boots you can open the options with F$ and choose save mode [13:44] Hi erkules :) [13:44] TheLostSoul: in newer version X is configured dynamically, so no xorg.conf only if you tweaked it [13:44] do you mean the istallation usb or cd [13:44] Hi guglu [13:44] dionyssis75: on both [13:45] or the one that already has on it version 11.04 installed? [13:45] because those are 2 different things [13:45] dionyssis75: ON THE pc THAT MAKES PROBS [13:45] * guglu hugs erkules [13:45] i forgot to mention [13:45] that if you make an installation cd or usb [13:45] * erkules hopes guglu is a man :) [13:45] and you select no install [13:45] i heard you are quite famous for hugs :) [13:45] yes, i am a man [13:45] but just load from cd or usb it never does [13:46] dionyssis75: another option is to disable kernel mode setting with nomodeset === root is now known as Guest83821 [13:46] Ubuntu LTS Server - the "Welcome to Ubuntu" & the packages that can be updated appears twice, and the second one reports incorrect information. Anyone know where that is so I can get rid of it? [13:46] hmm, or maybe i am talkign to the wrong guy, pardon me if thats the case. [13:46] guglu: Hehe yeah they all claim for ma hugs :) [13:46] this is when opening a remote shell through ssh [13:46] aah, so right :) [13:46] you will have to be a bit more descriptive about the process because i know nothing about linux [13:46] erkules: guglu could you please take the friendly chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please [13:46] how do i disable kernel mode? [13:47] ikonia: sorry :) [13:47] not a problem [13:47] dionyssis75: press F6 during boot screen [13:47] today is my first day on IRC, so pardon me :) [13:48] schnuffle: okay it listed all the files related to the fglrx drivers i guess [13:48] when you mean during boot you mean from the installation cd-rom or from the already installed hard disk? [13:48] BluesKaj: ? [13:48] TheLostSoul: yep and there should be one to call the config panel, maybe grep for bin [13:48] schnuffle: just a huge list of files in different places [13:48] schnuffle: okie dokie [13:48] tha installation cd gives you 5 options on its own [13:48] dionyssis75: from the usb [13:48] BluesKaj: sorry i did not understand that, could you explain please ? [13:49] Hi , im working on a python script ...at the end i have to open an index.html file in firefox but for some reason it wouldnt just open via this script..firefox index.html seems to work from the command line and also if another script is made , but it just shows up a blank page when called through this script , Help please ? [13:49] I just reinstalled samba after purging it and now smbtree lists only the windows machine but it doesn't list the shares on my ubuntu machine. nautilus does the exact same thing. I can see the windows shares on the other machine but I can't see my own shares listed. any ideas? thanks [13:49] the thing is i am trying to install it on my pc [13:49] OOOPS , wrong channel [13:49] hehe , checking ...you said it's your fist day om irc , wondering which client, guglu [13:49] my usb works on other pcs [13:49] ohh, wenchat :) [13:49] what can i do to install it permenantly on my disk and make it work? [13:49] hey folks, is there a site online you would recommend for hiring someone for a small bash script kind of job for Ubuntu specifically? basically trying to automate a series of steps I have to do regularly... i'd rather stay away from the generic sites like elance. [13:50] i have 3 disks so i dont care about windows [13:50] rjonesx: i have heard about #freelance (from my team mate) [13:50] rjonesx: is it for work, or your personal use ? [13:50] TheLostSoul: the command should be sudo aticonfig --initial [13:50] People with skype issues:: http://heartbeat.skype.com/2011/05/problems_signing_into_skype_an.html [13:50] a little bit of both :-) [13:50] slakcphil: why are you pasting that [13:50] huh? [13:51] rjonesx: if you ask in channels such as #bash (for example) people may help you write it get it done [13:51] ikonia? [13:51] it has to do with mounting SSH, so it can be used both for my personal and work servers [13:51] slakcphil: sorry, meant StR [13:51] cool, ill try both of there - thanks! [13:51] ??? === Charlie is now known as Guest87259 [13:51] ikonia, sorry, what? [13:51] hi [13:52] StR: don't post the random links please. [13:52] TheLostSoul: and the panel is started with sudo amdcccle [13:52] rjonesx, try sshfs [13:52] oh, and if anyone is interested in here, they can PM me. thanks again for your help! [13:52] Is it possible to install windows after the entire hard disk is used for Ubuntu 11.04? [13:52] ikonia, why is it random? [13:52] any proposals? [13:52] StR: because no-one was discussing skype [13:52] guys i have a problem with a script that i made some time ago [13:52] how can i install ubuntu on a system that refuses to install? [13:52] dionyssis75: you need to understand why it won't install [13:52] ikonia, ehhmm.. yes, we were... [13:52] BluesKaj: I have, the process of auto-mounting using AutoFS can get cumbersome, and since i have to do this with future servers, it would be nice if I could have a script written that just acceps the necessary parameters and does it for me [13:52] i am trying my friend [13:53] but i dont get any msgs [13:53] dionyssis75: so you have tried to boot the usb in save mode with nomdeset enabled? [13:53] i cant locate this file -> http://bookeldor-net.info/merdier/Makefile-syntekdriver [13:53] and when i tried preinstalled version from usb it would not boot [13:53] dionyssis75: as I've explained to you, the graphics card is the most liklkey issue [13:53] researcher123, yes if you shink it but leave windows as first partion [13:53] locum: it's normally included in the package you download [13:53] does anyone know of a command line tool that can search the w3 for a packages's url? basically giving an accurate path to download a tool via wget... withuot using some text based browser though [13:53] ikonia, with schnuffle and halvor and I was told many others have the same issue [13:53] ikonia, mmm i will take a look [13:54] robin0800: how can it be done.pls guide me [13:54] rjonesx, soundslike you need NFS , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo [13:54] StR: fair enough, my apologies, the fact that you addressed it to the channel suggested to me it was just an annoucment [13:54] my friend i do not know how to enable special commands on boot [13:54] researcher123: get a partition tool on CD or USB and shrink your windows partition [13:54] as i told you i am a complete idiot concerning linux [13:55] schnuffle: but I have used whole hard disk with ubuntu 11.04 [13:55] Question - I installed Windows 7 on a 250gb drive with 30gb unallocated just for Ubuntu. When I boot Ubuntu, or even the GParted LiveCD, it says my drive is 100% unallocated. Yet if I reboot, I'm back in Windows 7. I've dual booted dozens of times and never saw this. What happened? [13:55] i was thinking of something similar to harvester but for urls [13:55] researcher123, you will need some sort of boot cd because you can't shrink a mounted disk [13:55] dionyssis75: Again did you try to boot with nomdeset enabled and in save mode? [13:55] schnuffle: which partition tool to be used? [13:55] Roasted: could you take a screen shot of the partition tool please ? [13:56] schnuffle: okay im in that xorg conf file what do i do from here? it seems the fglrx is already set up there [13:56] robin0800: I have a bootable usb [13:56] researcher123: gparted [13:56] i dont know how to do that? [13:56] boot from where? [13:56] i cant even install the damn thing [13:56] TheLostSoul: so fglrxinfo gives a correct answer [13:56] dionyssis75: can you boot from a cd, yes or no [13:56] NO [13:56] ikonia, ehh I cannot, because this machine is not with me today. I just wanted to ask here and generate some ideas. I do recall it simply saying /dev/sda1, no other partitions, and 100% of it saying unallocated. It did this in GParted LiveCD and Ubuntu LiveCD w/ GParted running. I tried older and new versions of GParted. [13:56] that is the issue [13:56] schnuffle: what do you mean "correct answer?" [13:56] TheLostSoul: have you set it up with anticonfig --initial? [13:56] i tried from CD no [13:56] schnuffle: should g[arted be installed on pen drive which is bootable? === eris23 is now known as NetRiot [13:56] dionyssis75: ok, can you boot from any ubuntu CD, 10.04, 10.10, 11.04 ? [13:56] i tried from usb NO [13:57] researcher123: yes [13:57] schnuffle: says the driver isnt installed corrently when i do that command [13:57] ikonia, yet in disk management of Windows 7, I can definitely see the 100mb reserved partition, then my 200gb partition I created, and the remainder unallocated which I did intentionally for Ubuntu. [13:57] i tried from preinstalled on usb stick and NO [13:57] Roasted: grab a screen shot when you get home and give me a nudge, [13:57] dionyssis75: ok, can you boot from any ubuntu CD, 10.04, 10.10, 11.04 ? === eris23 is now known as NetRiot [13:57] i think i did when i tried to load from cd the 10.04 just to see how it is [13:57] ikonia, appreciate it. Have you seen this before by chance? I have a habit of using GParted to set up my disk before I do an installation. This time I used the Windows 7 partitioner, but I've heard of people using the W7 installation partitioner and it being fine. [13:57] schnuffle: Fail to link to fglrx-libglx.so [13:58] i think back then it did load (i am not talking about installation) [13:58] Roasted: not exactly what you described, but a few similar little glitches, hence why I'd like to have a look [13:58] dionyssis75: ok, please try to boot from a 10.04 cd [13:58] TheLostSoul: when executing aticonfig? [13:58] Hi. Could someone please tell me how i can do port forwarding on natty. Because 'deluge' says it is not receiving any incoming connections.. [13:58] where will i find that? [13:58] schnuffle: yes [13:58] on the site i see only the lates version [13:59] ikonia, did you ever find solutions to those few instances you ran into? I thought about saving the W7 partition in Clonezilla and nuking the drive w/ a new table and re-creating the partitions in GParted, then dumping W7 back on it. Even if it tanks, doesn't matter. My NAS has my data and there's nothing personal on W7. It's just my gaming OS. [13:59] can i upgrade version 10.04 to 11.04 later? [13:59] TheLostSoul: Did you install the dev package, you need it [13:59] schnuffle: what dev package? i installed 2 of the 3 you listed before but the alias one didnt install [13:59] ikonia, it's just when you do this an easy 4-5 dozen times and then outa no where it spins this on you, it's a little confusing. :P [13:59] Roasted: it depends on the problem, once was fixable, one was a genuine bug [13:59] dionyssis75: yes and when you boot the usb stick hit F6 to set nomodeset and F4 to activate save mode and see if it boots then [13:59] dionyssis75: you can download ubuntu 10.04 from www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download === dy484 is now known as reliableNerd [14:00] TheLostSoul: fglrx-dev [14:00] ikonia, I do however have to admit, I have two 250gb drives, and I know one of the 2 acted weird when I used it on a usb bridge, making me think it was bad. I almost wonder if I nabbed the wrong one?? [14:00] Hi. Could someone please tell me how i can do port forwarding on natty. Because 'deluge' says it is not receiving any incoming connections.. [14:00] ok skype published fix http://heartbeat.skype.com/2011/05/problems_signing_into_skype_an.html no linux instructions, but it's same .Skype/shared.xml and it works [14:00] ok i will try so [14:00] thank you [14:00] schnuffle: ahh okay ill do it now, thanks [14:00] schnuffle: apt-get install right? [14:00] Roasted: that's possible, change the drive in the partition gui (drop down in the top right) see what the other disk shows [14:00] Roasted: but grab the screen shot when you get back [14:01] ikonia, cant find the file [14:01] ikonia, nothing shows. I always do my installs with 1 hdd installed. [14:01] last question [14:01] ikonia, it just came to mind that I forgot one of them gave me issues. [14:01] TheLostSoul: As I don't have a ATI on Natty on hand right now, I have to google each step after it fails for you [14:01] Roasted: ah, bit odd, but ok [14:01] locum: contact the people who provide the package then [14:01] how do i get the dual boot menou out of my system from a failed ubuntu installation? [14:01] schnuffle: well your a great help XD [14:01] i get this on system boot although there is no linux on my system now [14:02] schnuffle: my best =D [14:02] schnuffle: the package is installing [14:02] dionyssis75: you just use the windows install CD for and the recovery option to re-apply the boot record [14:02] ikonia, Yeah, it is. Force of habit. Linux used to be a headache for me to install when you had 5 hard drives installed with each 1 needing to do a certain job. So I decided to just fire up one drive to get started then add accordingly. old habits die hard. ;) [14:02] dionyssis75: the guys in ##windows can help you in detail with that [14:02] dionyssis75: You mean you have a window box where before ubuntu was installed as well [14:02] no no [14:02] /j #xda [14:02] when i turn on the pc [14:02] dionyssis75, I believe you just need to put your windows CD in and do a repair. But as ikonia said, that's kind of a windows issue at this point. [14:02] i got a menu [14:03] Oopsies [14:03] dionyssis75: rewrite you MBR [14:03] schnuffle: still getting "Fail to link to fglrx-libglx.so" [14:03] say which to load [14:03] windows or ubuntu [14:03] schnuffle: on the aticonfig [14:03] it is in the system from the last failed install of ubuntu [14:03] dionyssis75, what is your goal, to have windows and only windows on the machine? If so, put your windows CD in and do a repair. It should repair the MBR - master boot record, and restore single-boot-functionality for Windows. [14:03] ok [14:04] thnx [14:04] i have a problem with a ipw2100 device dmesg says it can't find the firmware, but it is there... anyone knows the problem? [14:04] dionyssis75, but that falls under ##windows at this point if you need additional help ;) [14:04] dionyssis75, I've gotten good help in there though. [14:04] my system works fine [14:04] Roasted: simplest is to do fdisk /mbr see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/69013 [14:04] i just want to get the stupid menou option out of the starting [14:04] there is no point of having that there [14:04] miha, did you mean that for me? [14:04] dionyssis75: you've been told what to do [14:04] to clean grub, you only need to reinstall mbr [14:05] dionyssis75, as we said, run a repair. If you need additional help, ##windows :) [14:05] doesn anybody know anything new about the skype-issue? [14:05] cheers [14:05] dionyssis75, take care [14:05] halvor: yes [14:05] ok skype published fix http://heartbeat.skype.com/2011/05/problems_signing_into_skype_an.html no linux instructions, but it's same, remove .Skype/shared.xml re-enter password and it works [14:05] miha: could you share? [14:07] What could be a reason that amarok refuses to play mp3 data, when i have all neccessary codecs installed [14:07] ? [14:07] kleopatra: there wouldn't be a reason [14:08] ikonia: it says something about a unsupported tag in the terminal [14:08] whatever setting i try in grub and boot, it says "internal journal on sda5:8" [14:08] kleopatra: there you go then [14:08] can someone help me with that [14:08] i am tired now, if someone cant then my last option would be to reinstall [14:08] ikonia: every otzher player i have installed does play the same files without any problems [14:08] my issue is the login screen wont come (after a sudo apt-get upgrade) that i did yesterday [14:08] kleopatra: yes, but for that player it has an error and it's telling you the error [14:08] please, i am very much stuck [14:09] miha: thanks! it works! [14:09] halvor: yup! :D [14:09] kleopatra- make sure that (libxine1-ffmpeg) in synaptic is installed, i know some times it gets missed [14:10] ikonia: i cant belive that a mp3-tag will stopt it from playing, the frames are stzill ok and i dont cre whether a tag isnt ok or not [14:10] halvor: i was told here to check https://twitter.com/#!/Skype === Starlight is now known as Guest23261 [14:10] TheLostSoul: see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742724 [14:10] schnuffle: i wish i could :P [14:10] kleopatra: it's giving you the error, look into it [14:10] schnuffle: im lookign for this file, ill try linking it manually [14:11] guglu: only thing google finds is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1454881 unsure if it applies to you [14:11] TheLostSoul: what about lynx? [14:11] schnuffle: says cant connect to host and closes [14:11] guglu: dont know if it's good advice.. [14:11] kleopatra- plus make sure you have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras for the codecs [14:11] how can i make Firefox use the system's font settings (typeface, size and hinting) for the menus and rest of the interface - not the web pages' text? [14:12] TheLostSoul: even with lynx http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742724 [14:12] schnuffle: it closes === Xcell is now known as wn1zid [14:12] Xcell: omg its really coz ogf that library, i wonder why other players didnt make problems tho [14:13] did you put the ubuntu extras on the system ? [14:13] kleopatra- amarok uses the xine back end [14:14] is GRUB stored inside the "System Reserved" partition? [14:15] wn1zid: what other backends are there? [14:15] Sniffy: no, GRUB is stored partly in the MBR and partly in /boot [14:15] amarok uses xine [14:15] thats all i'm saying [14:15] schnuffle: i can give you any information you want === SyGeek1 is now known as SyGeek [14:17] TheLostSoul: the problem is that the latest fglrx came out before natty so it isn't really compatible. You could use the open source driver to begin with. So that you have a least a desktop to further elaborate [14:17] TheLostSoul: So what about installing the nouveau driver [14:17] A friend would like to try ubuntu lilfe cd. After the purple start screen nothing happens. Whats wrong? [14:18] TheLostSoul: there are some hints to resolve the problem, but i think it's best that you read them yourself [14:18] schnuffle: ive used natty with this card before but this is a fresh installation, i have default driver atm [14:18] TheLostSoul: didn'T you tell me it was an upgrade? [14:18] Hello all [14:19] schnuffle: additional drivers find the driver i need but it doesnt let me adctivate from the gui it says im not authorised so im wondering if theres a command for terminal to activate the driver [14:19] schnuffle: no, ive upgraded to natty [14:19] Hi [14:19] wn1zid: just for me if u nderstand what i read: an lternative to xine is eg mplayer? [14:20] TheLostSoul: right now I'm confused. Is it a fresh install or did you upgrade to natty? [14:20] LjL, is it stored only the MBR of the HDD Ubuntu installed to? Basically I was a windows user and that was installed on a separate hard disk. I needed to get comfortable with Linux so I whacked out an old hard drive, put it in the PC and installed Ubuntu onto that. It automatically installed GRUB (I originally intended to just change the hard disk boot priority when I wanted to switch between the two) and I now need to format the Window's partition to re [14:20] install windows, am I going to mess up GRUB in anyway? [14:20] anyone tried ubunut on sony VPCSB19GGB ? [14:20] kleopatra- ya [14:20] or is GRUB ONLY attached to my Ubuntu drive? [14:20] did someone have install ubuntu 11 on the acer aspire 5732z [14:20] ?????? [14:20] miha: no luck :( [14:20] I am trying to tunnel ipv6 over ipv4 using ubuntu server edition 10.04. On the server i can ping IPv6 addresses but when i try to connect from machines from my network they don't get response.. But if i ping the local ipv6 address (fe80) I do get. [14:20] schnuffle: it was a clean install today, i also upgraded to natty today, i could log in either way around so i dont think its an issue with natty [14:20] kleopatra- i also like vlc, it plays just about anything you throw at it. [14:21] schnuffle: couldnt log in* [14:21] Sniffy: Windows will install its own boot loader on the drive you install Windows to, i believe. but i'm not entirely sure which drive Ubuntu would have installed GRUB to, whether the drive you installed Ubuntu on, or /dev/sda... [14:21] Wait, I guess I can just unplug my window's HDD and try boot up, see if it screws up [14:21] schnuffle: well i can log in but the screen freezes [14:21] simonandres_,, no but I installed kubuntu 10.10 on an acer 4630z. and all is fine [14:21] TheLostSoul: aah okay, but Natty has a problem with the fglrx drivers, and that is where we are right now? === Ycarene_ is now known as Ycarene [14:21] schnuffle: no becasue classic doesnt work either [14:22] I do remember window's screwing up when I deactivated the linux disk [14:22] TheLostSoul: okay did you have compiz enabled? [14:22] Eeeuh, anyone? Can I ask technical questions overhere? [14:22] GRUG is useful but damn, I'd prefer totally separate drives and just change boot sequence in BIOS [14:22] schnuffle: like essentially i havent activated the driver, so if anything ubuntu has an issue with the default driver for my g-card [14:22] I get errors about not being able to modify ICEauthority file on login. I'm mounting /home/ via NFS4, and permissions are correct. What am I missing? [14:22] schnuffle: i havent tried compiz no [14:22] how can I check the current configuration that was made by ./configure ? [14:23] Hello, I'm having some disk/filesystem trouble. This is dmesg output is http://pastebin.com/01ANZe9r What does it mean? [14:23] schnuffle: whats compiz? [14:23] Anyone here familiar with creating ip6 tunnels over ip4 connections? === The-Kernel_ is now known as TheKernel[work] [14:24] TheLostSoul: 3D gadgets [14:24] Hyperbyte, not sure but check your fstab settings ...I had the same prob a while back [14:24] compiz are gadgets from gnome desktop [14:24] Sniffy: whats the command to get it? or do i have it already? [14:24] LjL, I don't have a /dev/sda directory? [14:24] BluesKaj, could you show me your fstab settings so I can copy? :) [14:25] server or client , Hyperbyte ? [14:25] Both if possible. :) [14:25] Sniffy: /dev/sda is a partition, you need to mount it to a directory [14:25] Client only has type = nfs4, options _netdev,auto [14:25] ah thank you, excuse my igorance [14:25] ignorance* [14:26] Server has rw,sync,sec=sys,no_root_squash [14:26] /dev/sda seems to be my windows disk, according to GParted [14:26] schnuffle: is there a command to activate drivers? [14:27] god damn it [14:27] Sniffy, actually, /dev/sda is the whole harddisk, /dev/sdaX (X=number) is a partition [14:27] sda contains sda1 with a boot flag [14:27] 100mb [14:27] TheLostSoul: okay so lets go the open source way: first fully purge fglrx: sudo /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh ( if it exists), sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*, sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon , sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati, sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [14:28] is that a windows boot thing or grub? [14:28] Sniffy, fdisk -l /dev/sda [14:28] TheLostSoul: the comand to activate it is aticonfig --initial which fails [14:28] Hello [14:28] schnuffle: okay # [14:28] is there anything wrong with this -> http://pastie.org/private/gwgwb8f5i9xc5u2rxzb6sw ? [14:29] My skype dosent start, anyone knows why? [14:30] Hyperbyte, that doesn't really tell me anything GParted doesn't. T [14:30] aaronb3rg: from first view it looks okay [14:30] CyborgSmurf: Skype is having an issue; https://twitter.com/#!/Skype [14:30] Hyperbyte, PM [14:30] BluesKaj, appreciated! :) [14:30] Can anyone help me with some info about the Router and RouterFirewall documentation at ubuntu.com [14:30] ? [14:31] schnuffle: Commented out by Dropbox ? why would Dropbox need to do anything with it ? [14:31] Hyperbyte, np , hope it helps [14:31] Sniffy, if that's case, then you should already know the filesystem type. [14:31] !ask| andrei23 [14:31] andrei23: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:31] It just says "System Reserved" mate [14:31] BluesKaj, I left one additional question in PM, because the fstab on the server isn't very meaningful, I'd need the /etc/exports there. :) [14:31] But I dunno if that's GRUB or Window's default bootloader [14:31] aaronb3rg: it added the user_xattr flag [14:31] Pici: so I can only wait? [14:32] Sniffy, what kind of partition is it? [14:32] CyborgSmurf: At this time, thats what I suggest [14:32] ntfs [14:32] Sniffy: what's the outcome of sudo fdisk -l ? paste it in http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [14:32] Sniffy, well that's your answer then isn't it? [14:32] Pici: thanks, better to know that its in progress than missing out [14:33] Sniffy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS [14:33] Does the script found in the RouterFirewall documentation also does the routing job of the script found in Routing documentation? [14:33] hi poeple... short question: is it somehow possible to download all non-standart-packages which are required for a certain programm to a offline destinnation (USB for example) and then install them on another system without internet connection in a convenient way? [14:33] Can I get run() not to display the "[server] out:" part, so that it works well with programs like top? [14:33] Hyperbyte, ok . /etc/exports PM [14:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/613253/ [14:34] BluesKaj, thanks again. :) [14:34] tom_: yes, you can setup a local repository and install them from there [14:34] schnuffle: was there any need ? :S [14:34] Hyperbyte, np [14:34] ah I didn't know NTFS is window's exclusive [14:34] thanks man [14:34] schnuffle: what program wold I use for that? [14:34] tom_: try here http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [14:34] *would [14:34] Sniffy, reading and study makes one smart. :) [14:34] aaronb3rg: user_xattr allows program to store extended attributes a dropbox might use it [14:35] hehe I was actually taught that at uni but meh, when it doesn't interest you at the time it's hard to retain it [14:35] just remembered sitting in the lecture and the lecturer saying it [14:35] ok [14:35] I want to enable progress bar on a running rsync. Can I stop it and resume where it left off? [14:36] tom_: don't know your environement but there is apt-proxy for example [14:36] d1gital, you mean in the middle of one big file? [14:36] Pici: maybe skype has this problem with ubuntu because MS bought skype [14:36] Hyperbyte: no, many small files [14:37] d1gital, rsync only syncs what -needs- to be synced. That's the whole difference between rsync and cp. [14:37] tom_: apt-mirror might do the job as well [14:37] CyborgSmurf: Don't be silly, its a cross-platform issue. [14:37] Hyperbyte: cool, thanks. [14:37] d1gital, if it has already synced half, you ^C it and restart, it won't sync that again obviously. [14:37] TheLostSoul: how is it going? still alive :) [14:37] schnuffle: sounds like an option (from the name it sound it might do the things I want :)) [14:37] schnuffle: ive done all the commands all executed fine except the last which didnt do anything [14:38] If I want my computer to act as a Router and Firewall should I use only the script fount at Ubuntu->RouterFirewall and skip the one at Router? [14:38] the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [14:38] Pici: just got angry and needed something to blame. Windows has made me angry before so I figure it could help me unstress :P [14:38] TheLostSoul: of course it did, but with no output [14:38] schnuffle: okie dokie then all has been done XD what now boss? [14:39] #ubuntu's flood control system is brilliant ... i something like it instead of captcha on my website, now [14:39] TheLostSoul: Now reboot and see if you can login === Jens is now known as Guest33042 [14:39] schnuffle: okie dokie, should i try activate it first? [14:39] hi , i have some DOTS on my screen ? anyone familiar with this problem ?? [14:40] first time i see it. [14:40] Anybody know how I can get run() not to display the "[server] out:" part, so that it works well with programs like top? [14:40] do the dots make shapes like letters? if so then i have those too === eris23 is now known as NetRiot [14:40] no it are little squares [14:40] TheLostSoul: no the last line reconfigured the drive, no need to activate anything [14:40] schnuffle: okay fingers crossed brb [14:40] aaa reconfigured X [14:40] they are only in the left corner [14:41] i have a NVIDIA card wiht additional drivers installed (recommended) [14:42] If I want my computer to act as a Router and Firewall should I use only the script fount at Ubuntu->RouterFirewall and skip the one at Router? [14:42] Hey! Anyone else experiencing Skype to be aborted during login? [14:43] Re all the Skype issues, supposedly if you delete ~/.Skype/shared.xml, the linux client should be able to work. [14:43] skype has issues [14:43] Worldwide issues its not your configuration [14:43] KinkyPinkie: do you have an integration for skype activated (such as skype4pidgin)? === mig is now known as Guest5026 [14:43] KinkyPinkie: Skype is having an issue; https://twitter.com/#!/Skype [14:43] Hi. I am in charge of an ubuntu server A sharing a network with another server B that was compromised in a recent intrusion. We have pulled the network and I want to check if server A has been compromised. Is there a list somewhere of the security packages installed by default on Ubuntu Server? [14:44] klzk: Skype listed removing that file as a potential fix actually. [14:44] klzk: it works fine on my phone, it just wont start again after two hours of leaving my pc suspended going to the store :/ [14:44] Anyways, someone available to help me? [14:45] can you tell me a good mounter program? [14:45] OK [14:45] so [14:45] after spending 10+ hours, it seems i failed. and will have to reinstall my ubuntu [14:45] klzk: You could try asking in #ubuntu-server if you don't get an answer here. [14:45] Pici Thank you [14:45] but i still want to know this, why would sudo apt-get upgrade break things ? [14:46] that is just so bad :( [14:46] if I need to compile an ubuntu package and add another option to the ./configure, what's the easiest way to do this? [14:46] foobarbecue: could be informative: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntegrityCheck [14:47] cannonball: it wont happen to be in my /usr/share/skype/ do you have any idea where I can acctually find it? [14:47] mekwall: when you have the deianized srources there's a rule file in the debian directory which sets the options [14:47] schnuffle: would you like to tell me ? [14:47] schnuffle: do you know the name of that file? :) [14:48] ah [14:48] found it [14:48] rules of course :) [14:48] schnuffle: So, that page is a spec that has not been implemented. Why is this useful? [14:48] or am I misreading it? [14:49] KinkyPinkie: Info comes from here: http://twitter.com/#!/paulmutton [14:49] hello sirs [14:49] guglu: to find out you'll have to do the chroot stuff I told you hours ago, Maybe your harddisk fucked up [14:49] cannonball: thanks [14:49] after editing /etc/network/interfaces, what service do I need to restart? [14:49] foobarbecue: I could be usefull, if not sorry [14:49] How can I set the soundcard input source via command-line? [14:50] I can't believe there is not a list of the security features enabled by default in Ubuntu! Come on! [14:50] here is a bug of ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/751689, my lap has this bug , I am wondering after someone reported the bug for a month if there is a fix out there? [14:50] Ubuntu bug 751689 in linux (Ubuntu Natty) "Thinkpad x201* overheats due to slow fans when on 'auto'" [Critical,Confirmed] [14:50] foobarbecue: there's chkrootkit to search for problems [14:50] schnuffle: i think reinstalling would be better than that [14:50] so i plan to upgrade to 11.04 now [14:50] foobarbecue, of course there are [14:50] could you point me to it? [14:51] hello [14:51] what my ip adress [14:51] foobarbecue, what kind of security do you want?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:57] thanks foobarbecue I'll read it [14:57] guglu, ok you have to reinstall 9.10 or turn to 10.04, you can keep your data with home unformated [14:57] schnuffle: so it will do both routing and firewall? [14:57] hi all [14:57] hi [14:57] ouyes: i think i will backup my data with a live cd then upgrade to 11.04 tommorrow, i have 11.04 [14:57] but the problem is that, its going to take me 2-3 days to reinstall + configure :( [14:57] sir [14:58] and i dont even remember most of the configuration stuff [14:58] what [14:58] can someone ban this rothash guy? [14:58] yes [14:58] tell me [14:58] sombody [14:58] schnuffle: actually it was a stupid question. I know it does both, I just need a confirmation to be sure. [14:58] how can create my ip adresas [14:58] the most weird thing is why should sudo apt-get upgrade break ?!?!?!! [14:58] rohtash: Tell you what? Please try to speak in complete sentences. [14:58] my Ubuntu went crazy -- a black text console came up suddenly and then session went logged off 8-/ What was that ?!..

We get plenty of folks here whose primary language is not english. [15:02] foobarbecue: no default logchecker, no default IDS..... I install everything I need [15:02] each time when I need it [15:02] schnuffle: ok, thank you [15:02] ok [15:02] guglu, not just agree but I have the experience [15:02] not [15:03] i see [15:03] pici: Have you scrolled up and read his posts?

[15:04] but mine is a computer PC :) [15:04] and what does 1 2 mean ? [15:04] rohtash: I've already told you. Perhaps #ubuntu-in (India) could be more supportive for you.

[15:18] some things are just broken because of that unity [15:20] how is KDE as alternative? === tum is now known as Guest47574 [15:20] not willing to start a discussion, just asking [15:20] . [15:20] is KDE good enough now as an alternative to gnome? [15:20] KDE is an original alternative [15:21] what i was afraid of KDE is it is in the other spectrum... [15:21] i mean at the opther side of the spectrum [15:21] some ppl like KDE. I like gnome [15:21] gnome has very very few options to costomize things [15:21] each KDE config window is like entering a jungle with just a small machete === McPeter is now known as McPeter_ [15:22] there are ways to customize gnome. you just have to use the right program [15:22] and i feel that KDE apps are linux only [15:22] cablop, KDE has been a workable alternative for many yrs [15:22] yep, i liked KDE in the past [15:22] i disliked KDE3 [15:22] dunno about KDE4 [15:23] at that point i liked gnome more because many gnome apps work in windows too [15:23] i just ask to know a sincere answer [15:23] KDE has been around for soo long [15:23] yep [15:23] dunno [15:24] kde 4,6.3 here , and I'm happy with it ...there are some wifi probs however , very similar to the ones in ubuntu tho [15:24] maybe my problem is not with gnome or kde... is with ubuntu itself... this unity thing seemed like a very dissapointing force users to do things a different way [15:25] Hello [15:25] how is kdm? [15:25] how good? [15:26] i thought gdm was a login screen, but it seems it is a wole server [15:26] kdm is fine [15:26] cutomizable? [15:26] with no hacks?

[15:42] Hi [15:42] am I missing something? [15:42] Does anyone use pianobooster? [15:43] Broseph, what did you do to move your home partition? and why have you failed (i.e. what kind of error are you getting)? [15:43] !ask > gidna [15:43] gidna, please see my private message [15:43] I started my computer, and my home partition (sdg) won't mount. It complains about a bad superblock. I'm running the livecd now, and I can mount my home, and fsck reports that it's clean. am I missing something? [15:44] it's a 250gb drive that is used only for /home [15:44] candrea: I simply copied everything over to the new location and placed those entries in my fstab === sfdsafdsafdsa is now known as bassquik [15:44] not sure what the error was [15:44] Seven_Six_Two, your home partition can't be sdg, it should be something like sdg1 (with a trailing number) [15:44] I'll have to boot again [15:45] Broseph, the mount point you specified in your fstab is wrong: it should be /home, not /media/data/home [15:45] candrea, it can't be? It has been, and according to disk-utility, it still is. [15:45] what is /boot for? [15:45] ahh, okay, makes sense [15:46] Broseph, unless you have an uncommon setup (e.g. /home that symlinks /media/data/home) [15:46] good afternoon guys [15:46] why does it need to be on a separate partition? [15:46] fwiw, why does /home need to be on a separate partition? [15:46] is there anyway to turn off the enterence exit output?

[15:54] candrea, http://pastebin.com/4yf6fQAU [15:54] my modified fstab: http://pastebin.com/BqEjJgSQ [15:54] yeah I changed the times things run [15:54] unity not run on intel 855 video card [15:54] but I did that on my other systems as well...so they all match [15:54] Pici: that was for you [15:54] sorry [15:55] dorgan: Is there a newline at the end of the file? That needs to be there for it to run properly. [15:55] candrea, fyi the commented out /homes - 1st was during most recent install, 2nd was old home, pre-install [15:56] hey, I'm trying to use a socks proxy between two ubuntu machines, using ssh -D 1080, but it's not working; just says that the server closed the connection without sening any data. I've done it before and it's always worked fine, so I don't know what's going wrong with this new machine [15:56] Pici: theres just a # at the end of the file...just like all the others, which are working fine [15:56] Seven_Six_Two, ok, so you're using a disk as a filesystem without a partition table, but everything is configured well so that's ok. Now: is this the first time you fsck your disk? Have you already tried rebooting at least once? === kevin_ is now known as AtticHacker [15:57] finally i can enter this channel [15:57] dorgan: Do you mind pastebinning that file? [15:57] hmm, my /media/data/home folder is completely empty\ [15:57] candrea, I've rebooted twice now, and I keep getting bad superblock error [15:57] Broseph, I've just seen your last message. Could you please paste your full fstab? [15:57] Pici: http://pastie.org/private/7fb5qlpw7dkm6zhkpdlgdg [15:58] candrea, and fdisk says that the filesystem is clean (during recovery console and live cd) [15:58] http://pastebin.com/USJCyCNu [15:58] i really hate the way you don't see window titles in the task switcher - anyone know if this is settable somewhere? [15:58] candrea, did you see the error I'm getting on boot? [15:59] Seven_Six_Two, could you paste your /var/log/dmesg? (not the one of the live cd) [15:59] Broseph, yes, just now [16:00] quantumlemur: you want to forward the local port to the remote port on the system you log in? [16:00] I have a dual booting Win7 and 11.04 system......how do you uninstall 11.04? It is not longer listed in Win7 Uninstall [16:00] Trying to do a space reclaim for my Win7 system [16:00] schnuffle, well, I want a dynamic forward. Is there a way to test if a dynamic forward is working? [16:01] Broseph, could you give me the full output of "sudo blkid"? [16:01] dorgan: Are you getting any relevant entries in /var/log/auth.log when each cron entry is supposed to run? [16:01] quantumlemur: don't know [16:01] candrea: http://pastebin.com/nvPq1VJw [16:01] Snyperx - how did you install Ubuntu? Using Wubi? [16:02] Broseph, thanks. your problem is that you have a duplicated entry in your fstab [16:02] candrea, http://pastebin.com/QCr8c5GA [16:02] my Ubuntu goes crazy [16:02] quantumlemur: I always use normal forwarding [16:02] I am thinking if I am not (being) hacked [16:02] Broseph, sdb1 and UUID=a49bd8bb... are the same partition [16:02] howdy [16:02] schnuffle, does that work for a proxy? [16:03] Broseph, I think you want to remove the sdb1 line [16:03] quantumlemur: web proxy? [16:03] I see but then I won't have /media/data pointing to my second hdd? [16:03] schnuffle, well, I'm tryingto forward my browser traffic through an ssh tunnel [16:04] quantumlemur: yes that works [16:04] Empathy freezes if I open a chat window with a certain contact using Gtalk protocol. I'm running 10.10 32-bit. Started happening yesterday. Has anyone seen this bug? [16:04] candrea, the intent was to have a separate hard drive for data, including the home folder, do I need to do the home folder via symlinks instead? [16:04] 1. I got sudden log-off. 2. Now I look at console screen (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and it is full of really odd characters as if someone tried to type something in there... What the heck is going on?.. [16:04] Pici: sorry stepped away...checking now [16:05] schnuffle, but don't you have to specify a destination host for a local forward? what is the syntax that you use? [16:05] Seven_Six_Two, oops, sorry. I wanted kern.log, not dmesg [16:05] is it possible to downgrade xorg? [16:05] candrea, np. [16:05] i mean.. i know it is possible [16:05] but how will it be? [16:05] quantumlemur: yes you have, i always contact a web roxy or only one web server [16:05] Avasz: difficult and unsupported [16:05] quantumlemur: let me tet the dynamic thing, it's interessting [16:05] schnuffle, ahh, I see [16:06] hi [16:06] rww, so instead of downgrading xorg it would be better to use the older version itself? [16:06] Broseph, you can use two different partitions: one for your home and one for data; but is there a specific reason why you want to separate /home from your data? [16:06] schnuffle, dynamic is nice; you just do a dynamic on the one port, then your remote host acts as a proxy... or at least it did every time I tried it until now [16:06] Avasz: if you care about difficulty and unsupportedness, yes. [16:06] what is the best place to download and configure a Ubuntu server from? DVD/CD ? [16:06] Broseph, (and yes, using symlinks is a possible solution, although the best solution depends on what you are trying to do) [16:07] rww, ok. thanks. xorg from ubuntu 9.04 is not supported for my laptop. [16:07] so... was thinking what to do [16:07] Pici: It looks like I may be [16:07] candrea, apparently it's too big to paste in its entirety...I'll give you the last parts [16:07] i only have a dvd burner and an empty dvd drive. Can I get a Ubuntu LTS from somewhere to install on a new machine? [16:07] candrea, there's no real reason, I'm just misguided. All I want is to have all user data on this separate hard drive, for the most part I only care about mysql data and the home folder [16:07] Seven_Six_Two, the parts that I need are the one that include the "bad superblock" error [16:08] candrea, the words "bad" and "super" aren't found in kern.log [16:08] candrea, so the solution would be to just keep the /home entry and move my data in /home/data? [16:08] Broseph, then I suggest you to trash /media/data and keep just /home [16:08] hi my laptop just crashed with speedy text running over the screen (i was looking at a pdf before). I rebooted and checked /var/log/messages for information it read: kernel: [19049.378499] SysRq : HELP : loglevel(0-9) reBoot Crash terminate-all-tasks(E) memory-full-oom-kill(F) kill-all-tasks(I) thaw-filesystems(J) saK show-backtrace-all-active-cpus(L) show-memory-usage(M) nice-all-RT-tasks(N) powerOff show-registers(P) show-all-timers(Q) un [16:08] what is the cli command to config kdm?

I'm getting 404 not found. doing apt-get update also returns 404 on every single URL (it tries a huge list). What can I do? [16:18] Logan, thanks too [16:18] TomJ: /join #debian ;) [16:18] alwaysnoob: You're welcome. [16:18] candrea, aak. AAAK! now only storage6 and storage7 didn't mount. This is crazy. [16:18] dorgan: Yes? [16:18] I answered your question [16:18] What's the command to build from source (not from a source repo) but create a metapackage so apt can track your files [16:18] chrissbx use unetbootin software to create usb bootable [16:18] sevensixtwo, with the same error? [16:19] It runs the make command and parses the output I think [16:19] dorgan: Anything that looks like an error? [16:19] nope [16:19] dmsuperman: checkinstall [16:19] ah that's it thanks [16:19] dmsuperman: (it doesn't create a metapackage, it creates a normal package) [16:19] * dmsuperman rubs LjL's italian faces [16:19] faces? [16:19] jpds: double-face i am [16:19] LjL: That explains the two Ls. [16:19] LjL: Does it just run the install in a sandbox? Or does it try to copy the make script into the deb with the built files? [16:20] dmsuperman: it runs it using an LD_PRELOAD program that tracks all the file open calls that the makefile makes [16:20] badass [16:20] thanks Luigi [16:20] lolol [16:20] dorgan: I'm afraid I'm out of ideas then. Perhaps someone else can lend a hand, or you could try asking in #ubuntu-server [16:21] impiza, vulkan: thanks [16:21] rww: ok now I'm confused.. /etc/debian_release says lenny/sid, but apt-get is hitting e.g. us.archive.ubuntu.com. Do I have some confused repo definitions or something? I inherited this EC2 image from another admin and it's all rather messed up as you can see.. [16:21] candrea, I think my drives are being assigned different letters... [16:22] TomJ: What does lsb_release -a say, or /etc/issue or /etc/lsb-release [16:23] Pici: Ubuntu 8.10 / intrepid [16:23] lsb_release / issue / lsb-release all say that [16:24] hi [16:24] TomJ: ah. Don't use /etc/debian_release, it's not informative ;) [16:24] where is the download link for "chromium" not the chrome? [16:24] help [16:24] rww: ok thanks [16:24] TomJ: You're using intrepid, which is EOL, hence the repository errors. See the link ubottu's going to give you for more info.

[16:26] i had started the assistive technologies while singing in on my pc the magnifier and on screen key board displayed but i dont want it now how do i disable it [16:26] sevensixtwo, you could use UUIDs to fix the problem safetly [16:26] pls help! [16:26] candrea, I just put home at the top of my fstab and rebooted, and it didn't work again [16:27] when I put smb://workgroup/ in nautilus all I get is the windows machine shares but I can't see my own shares. the shares are set to browsable and guest ok already. any ideas? [16:27] hi.. this wireless chipset.. rtl8187l works fine in xubuntu 10.04 but doesnt work in ubuntu 10.04. Why may it be like that? i thought core of both were same... [16:27] sevensixtwo, I think you really should use uuids, do you need help setting them up? [16:27] i had started the assistive technologies while singing in on my pc the magnifier and on screen key board displayed but i dont want it now how do i disable it [16:28] candrea, maybe if you could pastebin an example line? I know how to find the uuid [16:28] how can I see the name of the group with guid 1000?

[16:39] http://pastebin.com/Pfax4A4x [16:39] candrea, I think it has more to do with changing the mysql data and tmp folders [16:39] Broseph, ah, are you trying to launch mysql from your user? [16:39] candrea, it was working fine before that [16:40] candrea, yes [16:40] Hello. I've got a strange problem: On my MacBook2,1 grub-efi works fine, but booting natty kernel causes immediate reboot (it looks like kernel and initrd get loaded properly). Booting 10.10, though, runs smoothly. Booting 10.10's kernel into single user with natty's partitions as root works too. Any ideas what might be wrong with booting natty? (traditional boot goes ok). [16:40] Broseph, you should run it as the user 'mysql' [16:40] quantumlemur: it works and I know howto debug [16:40] Hi, does anybody know a website for hackers? Like a forum or community? Id like to do some research [16:41] schnuffle, cool, you got it working? [16:41] widewake, backtrack4 [16:42] quantumlemur: yep one thing is strange though. I got it running with tsocks but not with manual proxy configuration in firefox [16:42] Hey guys anyone got a thinkpad edge 11 and writes code using it?

If I prefer the "old" ubuntu desktop, what should i do in terms of support(im on 11.4). Just use the classic desktop? Will that disappear? [16:43] hi guys, one of my domains is listing the root content, instead of loading index.php (apache2)? [16:43] how to find out how much GPU VRAM is used in ubuntu ?

You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. [16:44] quantumlemur: tsocks lets you transparently set a socks proxy for an application. so tsocks firefox will redirect all tranffic through a configured socks proxy [16:44] Logan_, thanks. Do you think i can still do that in the next versions? [16:45] bye [16:45] r4ykid: As of now, they are removing the Ubuntu Classic interface from 11.10 (Oneiric). [16:45] what do you recommend for IRC? [16:45] Broseph, ah, ssh... then you should log in as your user and "sudo start mysql" [16:45] besides chatzilla? [16:45] Unity not run on my intel 855 anyone help me... [16:45] schnuffle, cool, do you know of any howto info? [16:45] or a standalone chatzilla [16:45] does it exist?

[16:46] candrea, I haven't had a chance to load any data in yet [16:46] quantumlemur: so the way to go: sudo apt-get install tsocks, edit /etc/tsocks.conf and set the server to 127.0.0.1, then open your socket proxy with ssh -D user@server.tld and run firefox or any other app with tsocks app === gaferion is now known as Jake [16:46] candrea, but I do believe the server is started [16:47] Broseph, ubuntu.

[17:02] candrea, reset to defaults and everything is working now [17:02] quantumlemur: yep my firt try failed as well [17:02] candrea, and by that I mean I can login with "mysql --user=user --password" [17:02] nalex: For certain users, yes. [17:02] nalex: I think you can just do that from the user & groups control panel. [17:03] nalex: user settings or something rather, [17:03] Hmmm, there're many users...doing it for certain users would not be possible. I need to do it in general [17:04] zaya, thank you i have made it and works [17:04] Hi all. Does crontab continue on startup? [17:04] Or will I have to reset all my cron jobs [17:04] nalex maybe a script that could change all users except root then remove the changes from certain users? Not sure on that one myself [17:05] CyrusB: I'm not sure what you're asking, can you clarify that? [17:05] zaya, nono it will not work...I will just try google again. Maybe I will find a good solution :-) [17:05] Pici: I would like to create a crontab job, but I am not sure if after I reboot, that crontab job will continue to run on its specified time interval [17:06] Does anyone know while the links from the places menu open rhythm box and start it importing instead of opening nautilus at that location? [17:06] CyrusB: It wouldn't much use as a job scheduling system if you needed to re-add your tasks after each reboot. :) [17:07] nalex, That one baffles me. I would google it also sorry [17:07] Pici: Yea, makes sence. Just making sure :p [17:07] CyrusB: If you *miss* the job while the computer is off, it will not be run though. [17:07] Pici: Yes, that I understand [17:07] Pici: Thankyou :) [17:07] CyrusB: No problem [17:07] zaya, yeah...the problem is...most of the tutorial for that kind of problem are rather hacks than a solution...or totally outdated [17:09] Starting ISC DHCP server dhcpd fail * check syslog for diagnostics.

[17:40] shomon: gnome channels are on irc.gnome.org [17:41] well MIH1406 I guess you'll have to go to irc.gnome.org - sorry not to be of more help [17:41] I am going there then [17:42] :) === braiam is now known as braiam-l === roaming is now known as INFURNO [17:47] I'm trying to put the Ubuntu installer onto a USB flashdrive, using Debian. I've used unetbootin and pointed it to the ubuntu iso file, but now the generated stick will boot the syslinux loader but that says "No init found. Try passing init= bootarg." [17:48] Anyone knows what's going on? Is the init searching after or before mounting the root volume? I'd guess after, right, but then why would that be, does the ubuntu live img not have init at the usual place? === smartere is now known as Miles-Prower === braiam-l is now known as braiam [17:49] hi i plugged in my external hard driver, now when i try to open it i get this error$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0) [17:49] Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Operation not supported [17:49] Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. === smartere is now known as Miles-Prower [17:50] How do I install Ubuntu on a netbook without CD drive, when all I currently have is Debian? [17:50] Hi. I adminster server A on a network where server B was recently compromised by an intrusion that escalated to root access. I'm checking the server for signs of intrustion. chkrootkit detects a "winbind" infection on port 4000. Nmap shows a service called "remoteanything" running on 4000, which worries me. However, nmap shows rpc.statd listening on 4000 and I have seen things about a false positive in chkrootkit for rpc.statd. [17:50] I *do* have a usb flashdrive. [17:51] oops not windbind [17:51] I meant [17:51] "bindshell" [17:54] Hi all, is swap partition necessary? I have 8 GB ram and plan to run virtualized host among other things. [17:55] omichalek: yes you should keep one anyway, most apps like to 'dump' themselves into swap spaces if unused for a long time [17:56] omichalek: also suspend would not work without it, i'd say if you don't use suspend 1GB is fine [17:57] aeon-ltd: you mean "hibernation" or "suspend-to-disk"? [17:57] chrissbx: you can make a install usb [17:57] !unetbootin | chrissbx [17:57] chrissbx: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [17:57] braiam: both, they dump to a swap file [17:57] aeon-ltd then I'll go with something like 1GB [17:57] braiam: also some applications like gimp store some fonts there that don't neccessarily need to be in the ram [17:58] aeon-ltd: "suspend-to-ram" doesn't dump to disk, only to the ram [17:58] gimp: you stupid.... [17:59] aeon-ltd braiam and will disk suspending work with swap space spread across more disks? [17:59] I am having problems with mysql server 5.1 on ubuntu 10.10 - i cant seem to find help, I am unable to login as root after a fresh install. I have started mysql safe, with --skip-grant-tables and followed the procedure for changing root password, but it is not working - (0 matched, 0 changed, 0 warning, 0 affected) .. [18:00] braiam: you said suspend to disk the first time [18:00] omichalek: never tried it [18:00] cause you only said "suspend" omichalek: also suspend would not work without it [18:01] akuimiro, try dpkg-reconfiure mysql-server [18:01] Hey all. I'm wondering how to make it so that the background that I see when my screen is locked is the same as my wallpaper. Is that possible? [18:01] aeon-ltd I might try that, don't want to waste much SSD space [18:01] I am trying to install ubuntu to a netbook, is it safe to boot ubuntu in VMWare Fusion, dd the firtual disk to an external hdd (on a mac), boot the netbook w/something *small* via usb, then dd if=file.dd of=/dev/hdd? [18:01] *furtial -> virtual [18:02] aeon-ltd: now if we could just use btrfs subvolumes already... [18:02] omichalek: woah did not know that, if you have a regular hard disk use that instead, don't use the ssd unless you're using TRIM or an equivalent to save writes [18:03] aeon-ltd don't use it for swap you mean? [18:03] aeon-ltd: trim is not to save writes [18:03] omichalek: yes [18:03] aeon-ltd ok [18:04] aeon-ltd I said I don't want to waste it after all :) [18:05] cabuloso: Okay, I did dpkg-reconfigure , it asked me again to type in (and then re-type) the root password, which i did - but when i attempt to mysql -u root -p and then enter the password, it gives me the same access denied error [18:09] is it safe to dd a .dd to a hdd if the sizes don't match? [18:10] anyone know how to access a shared directory in ubuntu from a windows xp machine over a network?

[18:11] natty comes with CGJ installed by default? [18:11] have any of ya'll used backtrack 5 yet?? [18:12] i have. [18:12] it's nice, but the damn ati drivers... [18:12] FFFFUUUU [18:12] Awesome right, well to me it is [18:12] Really? [18:12] Guest42033: Possibly, but keep in mind that we do not support backtrack here, their channel is #backtrack-linux [18:12] my screen becomes a veritable strobe light. [18:13] I need help. I'm trying to install Ubuntu to run alongside Windows 7, the site says use Wubi. I do. I select the relevant options and install, reboot on prompt. Eventually the screen comes up for fully installing ubuntu (selecting timezone, etc) but I can't see it. I can barely make out an outline [18:24] Hi everyone, does someone know how to list the ttys installed on the Linux ? === mike_ is now known as Guest96135 === david is now known as Guest4746 [18:26] My partition table seems to have got corrrupted, any ideas on how to fix it? [18:27] Ahhh, that could be why I couldn't address 5thHorseman [18:27] I'm triple booting Haiku OS, Ubuntu and Windows on it if that helps [18:28] hi [18:28] via CLI, how can i list all the files in a package i have installed? [18:28] meoblast001: dpkg -L packagename [18:28] aeon-ltd: yep, the newer version works. [18:28] The123king: gparted in livecd may help [18:29] thanks [18:29] chrissbx: glad i good guide you a little :) [18:29] So, anybody who tells Debian users to use unetbootin to make Ubuntu images bootable on flash sticks, please also tell them that the Debian stable version actually doesn't work, they need to upgrade to testing. [18:29] (upgrade to unetbootin from testing) [18:29] where are network folders from smb/windows mounted on the file system? [18:30] chrissbx: log a bug [18:30] gparted live cd just came up with an unallocated disk [18:30] ActionParsnip: where, on the debian bts? [18:30] MuNk`: ~/.gvfs [18:30] ty =] [18:30] hence why i expect the partition table has gone up the creek [18:30] chrissbx: wherever appropriate [18:31] ActionParsnip: I don't see how it would be useful on the debian bts if it's already fixed in testing (except when people visit the bts to look for help, but considering that it didn't occur to me to be a problem in unetbootin I'm not sure whether anyone would) [18:32] how do I see what files a package has? [18:32] safire: One you have installed? [18:32] yes [18:32] safire: dpkg -L packagename [18:33] also, can I see what package a binary was installed from? [18:33] safire: Use dpkg -S for that [18:33] chrissbx: if there is an issue you have found you should use bugs to inform packagers and devs. Although you don't have to [18:33] ActionParsnip: it's been reported on the debian bts already, I see it now [18:34] Cool :-) [18:35] i'm looking at kpropd [18:35] So again, anyone who listens, if you've been telling Debian users to use unetbootin, if possible remember that the version in current Debian stable doesn't actually work. [18:35] and finding it weird that there's no init script associated with it [18:35] Thanks :) [18:35] chrissbx: doh [18:36] !info kpropd [18:36] Package kpropd does not exist in natty [18:36] Hello people again [18:36] chrissbx: thankfully, most debian users don't run stable :P [18:36] well, dunno. [18:36] I am :) [18:36] kpropd isn't a package [18:36] it's part of krb5-kdc [18:36] which has an init script [18:36] but doesn't mention kpropd in it [18:37] i have a computer that boots both linux and windows but my windows have more space to save things is their any way i can take that space and give it to my linux ? if that makes sense [18:37] safire: just hadn't heard of it and was curious :) [18:37] prezident: if you boot from a live cd, you can resize the partitions using a tool such as gparted [18:37] Hi. I am trying to install wings 3D. But the version in the repo is 1.2 and the latest stable version available on their website is 1.4. What are my options in this situation? [18:38] maco i can't do it from inside of ubuntu [18:38] ? [18:38] prezident: most likely not [18:38] prezident: if you try to resize a partition while it's mounted, you'll destroy your data (unless you have a specialised setup, like with lvm) [18:38] prezident: or make a folder in the ntfs and use it to store junk. Ubuntu can write NTFS. [18:39] lol i got to crawl before i walk here people lol [18:39] that would be crawling, versus using gparted [18:39] making the boot-able cd sounds easiest to me [18:39] a parted magic disc is always useful [18:39] hi guys, i want to place my terminal in the center of the screen and i have to describe X and Y geometry in tilda, my monitor is 4:3 and my resolution is 1152:864, what should i put for X and Y ? [18:40] silvering: do the math [18:40] prezident: making the folder is less graceful but is quicker and with less risk [18:40] my windows has alot of space that is not needed and i want to give it to my linux i know how to make a bootable cd and after that all i have to do is just resize in g partition right ? [18:40] Vonhinten: dunno, i think dragging around a bar to resize is easier than making sense of bind mounts and whatnot to try to get the right folder from NTFS mounted somewhere in ~ and with the right umask [18:40] how would the folder give me more space on my linux [18:40] Grootstyr: well im a little confused, how? [18:40] / [18:40] ? [18:40] prezident: the folder suggestion would be that you could, from your linux, use some of teh windows space [18:40] silvering: depends how large the window is [18:40] prezident: then you'd also be able to access that data from both [18:40] o ok soungs good [18:40] maco, when I installed a dual boot linux, it all just worked, my NTFS partition was already mounted, and I could access it just like the filesystem... [18:41] how do i manage to do so [18:41] doesn't get much easier than thtat [18:41] silvering: mostly the X and Y are the top left of the window, so just dividing both x and y through 2 does not work [18:41] Vonhinten: it automounted? huh. shiny newness i guess. used to be had to mess with /etc/fstab to get that [18:41] Grootstyr: it will be 924x668 [18:41] silvering: as soon as you know how large the window is(in pixels) its easy [18:42] silvering: exactly what was your resolution [18:42] how do i make the folder and where do i make it ? [18:42] silvering: tilda can be moved within its own config. Just shuffle it til you are happy [18:42] 1152x864 on 4:3 16 inch LG flatron [18:42] prezident: whereever you want it-what version of windows do you have? [18:43] should it be possible to dist-upgrade from a now-unsupported version? (jaunty) ? [18:43] windows 7 [18:43] how do i access files in a shared directory? i can connect to the machine and see the directory structure but can't actually see the files [18:43] i'm trying to access the files from windows machines [18:44] it's a permissions issue [18:44] Hi. I am trying to install wings 3D. But the version in the repo is 1.2 and the latest stable version available on their website is 1.4. What are my options in this situation if I want to install the latest stable version..which is 1.4? [18:44] silvering: try X:114 Y:98 for me? [18:44] Could be a permissions issue [18:44] prezident: if you put it in C:\Users\\Desktop (I believe) it will be on your desktop [18:44] Oh, ZING [18:44] how do i solve that though? [18:44] prezident: in places you will see the ntfs partition. Click it then make a folder someplace (or if you have it automounting use its mount point). [18:44] tab for sharing gives no info on this [18:44] ok i get what your saying [18:44] thank you [18:45] Grootstyr: just a second.. now when i run tilda, it runs on 0 on 0 wich is fullscreen, and i dont know how to run tilda setup again [18:45] I don't know that but if my math is right, x:144 and y:98 would be right. [18:46] Sniffy: is windows sharing the folder or accessing one under Linux? [18:46] Sniffy, who do the files on your Ubuntu machine [that you want to share] belong to? [18:46] thanks, i will try it and get back to you, when i find how to run tilda setup again :) [18:46] Yours, yes, but a particular username, Sniffy [And you don't have to give that user name in this IRC] [18:47] hello @ all [18:47] Sniffy: run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER set the same pass as your user logs in with and you'll be fine [18:47] Could be in System->Administration->Users and Groups [18:47] Try ActionParsnip's first, though === ashmew2_ is now known as ashmew2 [18:48] Hi.

How do I apply read/write/execute to guest users? [18:50] the files are mine. accessing this machine from my network [18:51] err netbook* [18:51] ubottu: to symbolize MAC OS X [18:51] Grootstyr: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:51] Darktrader: web browser still works though, right... [18:51] ubottu: but is it possible to install using aptitude? because it would nice to not have to contaminate my installation of natty? [18:52] carpi: Then you now have to do as ActionParsnip suggests and find a repo [18:52] a ppa repo [18:52] And that is something only you can do, carpi - good hunting [18:52] why firefox lags heavily right after default installation and no plugins? [18:52] Urgh, sharing the root directory should give access to the child directories [18:52] this is cumbersome at best [18:53] so did people have to write their own kpropd init script? [18:53] fda: Lags? Slow to load a page? [18:53] Carpi: ubottu is a bot. If you can find a ppa you will be able to get the newer version [18:53] no, gui lags [18:53] Could be in System->Administration->Users and Groups, Sniffy [18:53] lag when opening tabs, lag when listing tabs, [18:53] fda: Run from terminal and see what it's doing.

[18:54] ActionParsnip: thanks. i shall lookinto it [18:54] top is fine, firefox <10% cpu always [18:55] fda, depends on your tabs [18:55] if you have 200 tabs open with javascript running all the time [18:55] Grootstyr: can i give you link to a picture on prv? [18:55] fda: So it's slow to come up at first? Try setting the home page to about:home [18:55] no, I have lag with 1-2 tabs [18:55] Grootstyr: to see what i want to acomplish [18:55] empty tabs!

Stop the offtopic messages [19:21] ok stopped [19:21] djzn: the support channels for mint are vastly smaller than the support for ubuntu.

[19:33] !ot > TECH936 [19:33] TECH936, please see my private message [19:33] !offtopic | TECH936 [19:33] TECH936: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [19:34] ok, so, anyone got any ideas why my data disk, freshly burned with Brasero, won't automount? [19:34] Brom_Storyteller: Just ask it here [19:34] Garnasha: when u put CD then it autpmounts [19:34] When i logg inn with my newly created user my bash profile seems kind of wierd, i cannot press the up arrow to access bash history, and the terminal symbol is only $, if i try to set $PS1 to \u@\h, \u@\h is actually displayed, not @ but the actual signs\letters \u@\h... Anybody has an idea of whats wrong? Its ubuntu server btw... [19:34] Kangarooo: yeah, usually it does that. This one doesn't [19:35] Brom_Storyteller: there is a #bash channel for specific questions [19:35] bannaN-: Could you pastebin your .bashrc? [19:35] I'll head over there. Thanks. [19:35] bannaN-: It sounds like you created your user with useradd rather than adduser. [19:35] bannaN-: or the relevant line [19:36] Pici: hm, could be [19:36] sage000: just a sec [19:36] btw...i just installed backtrack 4 r-2....i had installed ubuntu 11.4...and for some reason, it can't run ubuntu again...eventhough igot the choice to do it at the boot....any ideas? [19:36] Garnasha: try other disks witch previously opened. maybe its still empty [19:36] Kangarooo: it isn't, empty disks do automount and I can see where it's written on [19:36] bannaN-: Either re-create it, or copy the stuff from /etc/skel/ into your user's home directory. Thats usually the cause of these sort of issues for new users. [19:37] sage000: http://pastebin.com/9cmUvpnS [19:38] Garnasha: is it RW disk? try on other comp and then if its empty try rewrite and then if its empty in terminal write ubuntu-bug brasero or in opened brasero click help->report bug [19:39] Garnasha: maybe it weared out if RW? [19:39] Kangarooo: I'm starting to think Brasero just fouled up badly. Trying to load it on a winPC freezes explorer when it tries to open "my computer" [19:39] It's DVD-R and was clean first [19:39] hi all [19:39] Garnasha possibly Brasero [19:40] aaaah Garnasha then its scrachy :) old RW disk right? ;) dont put hands on disk and dont put in wetness [19:40] hi [19:40] Hello Yakuza. [19:41] heya yakuza [19:41] bannaN-: What is the value of your TERM environment variable? It may be set to something other than rxvt* or xterm*. Maybe like pici said, just copy the .bashrc from /etc/skel if TERM is set correctly and it's still not right. [19:41] sage000: fixed with Pici's solution [19:42] just recreated the user with adduser [19:42] Thanks for the help anyways .) [19:42] Hello, I ned help with Intel N10 Grafics. I cannot configure it to use 1366x768 point. It is an integrated screen. It just runs wit 1024x768 ... [19:43] hmm, ok, new question before I try again: What's the best program for burning foo.tar.7z.001 and foo.tar.7z.002 on one disc and foo.tar.7z.003, foo.tar.7z.004, foo.tar.7z.005 on another? [19:43] any expert Ubuntu engineers available for consulting work? [19:44] mRy: don't use this support channel for recruting [19:44] The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. [19:44] it wants to upgrade wine, but source isnt added i take it, how do i fix that? [19:44] Garnasha: I can't speak for others but I have been successful with using the terminal for data disks [19:44] in upgrade manager [19:44] alternatively, is there a better way than packaging it like that to prepare stuff for making a backup of my home directory? [19:45] zaya: commands? [19:45] anyone seen a natty bug with Preferred Applications not saving settings? [19:45] my sound never saved settings after a hibernation [19:45] I notice red "fail" while rebooting but it was too fast to see what was it related to. I check all logs in /var/log and I don't see it anywhere. where is the log I should check? [19:45] Da|Mummy: I believe WineHQ.org has instructions for Ubuntu to the latest WINE release [19:46] If the most updated source is not in their repo, it soon will be with patience [19:46] BorgTK2001, im talking about the ubuntu upgrade manager [19:46] it lists wine in there, but it wont upgrade [19:46] and thats the error it gives me [19:46] Is there an error message? [19:47] The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. [19:47] Not authenticated by Canonical [19:48] right, so where do i add the source so its downloaded from the wine source [19:48] Do you know from which repo it is trying to update WINE? A Canonical repo or the WineHQ [which is more official than Canonicals] repo? [19:48] zaya: could you give me the name of the command/program I need to burn a data disk using the terminal? I'll man it, I just need to know what it's called [19:49] !gpgerr | Da|Mummy [19:49] Da|Mummy: Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories? Find the GPG keyword for the repository (it's 437D05B5 for the standard ones) and run « sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com » [19:49] http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu [19:49] Garnasha: I use cdrecord [19:49] zaya: thanks [19:50] ... which gives me " See 'man 7 undocumented' etc." [19:50] Garnasha: Brasero is a front-end to growisofs and cdrtools [19:50] xangua, thats a little too technical for me, sorry :{ [19:51] is there a good channel for recruiting Ubuntu experts??? [19:51] don't want to use the improper channel [19:51] #ubuntu-ops [19:51] mRy: #ubuntu-offtopic [19:51] ok thanks! [19:51] Yeah, the GUI's have presets that punch into the cdrecord and growisofs [19:51] mRy, #ubuntu-beginners has a lot of really knowledgeable helpers as well.;) [19:52] letmnx [19:52] nit-wit: he's not looking for help, he's looking for consultants :P [19:52] I'm setting up a dual boot of XP Home and 10.04LTS. Any reason I should create a partion for XP when I put it on? Or, should I just let it do it's thing and wait to partition when I add Ubuntu? [19:53] Garnasha, thanks for your projection of intent Duh. [19:53] jxshxx: the easiest way would be to install XP first, then Ubuntu [19:54] jxshxx, use the custom install of XP and make the partition for it there the size you want. [19:54] jxshxx: Do you have a drive 'map' for the partitions on paper or in your head? [19:55] For example: I want to give XP 5GB, and Ubuntu can have the rest... - in this scenario I would make the partitions at the time of installing XP [19:56] For example: I have no idea how much space I want to give to either OS... - in this senario I'd leave partitioning till you've installed XP and are inside the installation wizard of Ubuntu [19:56] BorgTK2001: I suppose I only need about 10% of the drive. Is it better to start with a partition for XP, knowing that? [19:56] fhyfofgh [19:56] Yep - if you know what you want ahread of the game, set your partitions up ahead of the game [19:56] putting XP in 5 GB... does that even fit? [19:57] Garnasha: Irrelevant - I was just making a hypothetical statement [19:57] :) [19:57] jxshxx: Don't overthink the partitioning scheme. Just create the partition you want for XP when you install XP and leave the rest of the drive unpartitioned. Then when you install Ubuntu, let it use the remainder of the drive, or customize it then. [19:58] BorgTK2001: I get it. Thanks! [19:58] But if you are flying by the seat of your pants, then you set up the partitions by the seat of your pants ;) === XOXO1 is now known as Monkfish [20:00] Flying pants. Got it. [20:00] Thanks all [20:00] Best wishes for the dual boot, jxshxx [20:03] Does anyone know where I can find the source code for ubiquity for natty? [20:03] owner: Most likely Launchpad [20:04] hello [20:04] owner: usually by running 'apt-get source ubiquity' [20:04] oCean I tried that [20:04] Is it possible to get the broadcom bcm4313 id:4727 working? [20:05] owner: I'm not on natty, but it works on lucid [20:05] Hey guys, i just updated to natty and i'm having a bit of issues... [20:05] whats a good tool to use for setting up networking in ubuntu? [20:05] updating to natty was not my problem, but I tried to get compizconfig to have the Rotate Cube again, and now i don't see the top or bottom panel [20:07] plum: I never used cube but does it require the extras packages? [20:08] hello I need help with Intel N11 and Monitor, when I configure it manually in xorg.conf I get this error in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: (II) intel(0): Not using mode "1366x768x59.8" (exceeds panel dimensions) --- which is definitly wrong. the buils in screen has 1366x786 [20:08] hi [20:08] zaya: i think it might, but do you know of a way to kill ccsm and re-launch my panels? i rebooted and still can't see them... [20:08] some keys are not working in my aptop [20:08] just ripped and audio cd, trying to change the attributes of the files, like artist and album name, but not able to do it, can anyone tell me why [20:09] key board probem onm y aptop' [20:10] pease your hep [20:10] that looks like hardware [20:10] plum: no sorry, only think I can think of is if it did not install right [20:11] I can get into my filesystem but I can't see my panels, is there a file I can edit to reset my gui config? [20:11] @mary buy a usb keyboard plug it in and just use it like that, or replace the keyboard for your laptop [20:11] Desktop environment you mean? [20:11] That's it, yeah === msh is now known as msh- [20:12] i tried alt + f2 to run something but it didn't display [20:12] can anyone tell me how to determine if the filesystem of my computer is readonly? [20:12] anybody else having problems with archive.canonical.com? [20:13] buttons: type 'mount' in terminal, it shows all currently mounted filesystems with their options (rw would be read-write) [20:14] buttons: tried ls -l? [20:14] what is the gui named for setting up a static ip on ubuntu? [20:14] thanks [20:14] nvm, oCean's answer is better === Guest84198 is now known as asmith [20:15] hi [20:15] i need help , i'm trying to lower my powerdraw for a laptop running 11.04 using "powertop " , have 2k+ ehci hcd usb interrupts [20:15] how do I remove dhcpd from start-up? update-rc.d doesn't give me dhcpd [20:16] laptop mode tools is installed === carif_ is now known as carif [20:16] it says /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw, errors=remount-ro) what does that mean [20:17] buttons: that your root filesystem is mounted read-write (but in case of errors it gets remounted read only) [20:17] would someone mind hitting http://archive.canonical.com and letting me know the results? [20:17] so currently is it mounted read/write? [20:17] hi, where i can get terminal font from ubuntu 11.04, i want use them in 10.04 [20:17] buttons: yes [20:18] thanks [20:19] jimbobco: No dice. Site down? [20:19] looks like it [20:19] anybody know of a mirror? [20:19] it's for the partner repository [20:19] !partner [20:19] Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [20:20] ooh i see [20:20] nevermind [20:21] !help [20:21] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:21] im sure licensing issues keep it from being mirrored, but seems like an issue to me [20:24] Can I use any burning program like Nero to burn a DVD to be either playble music in Audio player and OS booting disk for computer? [20:25] eb3ha4el: yes. [20:25] Idle0ne: thanks. [20:25] idle0ne: can you please recommend me any free ones for windows? [20:25] ls [20:25] oops [20:25] hi [20:25] Idle0ne: I mean the burner [20:26] eb3ha4el, infrarecorder [20:26] eb3ha4el: take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [20:26] smw: thanks [20:26] I have Ubuntu 11.04 (fresh install) and wether I use Unity3D or Unity2D, the application bar on the left overlaps Maximised Windows [20:27] Is this a known problem? Anywhere I could configure this? [20:27] join #giroll [20:29] More of a software thing but has anyone compared LibreOffice to OpenOffice and would it be worth upgrading it on Lynx? [20:29] nomike: erm, unless i'm misunderstanding what you're saying... that's by design [20:30] My update manager is stuck on "Unpacking replacement dpkg..." can someone tell me how to make it not stuck? =| [20:30] nomike: maximized windows *lose* their title bar, and instead the close/min/max buttons end up on the panel [20:31] LjL, no, what I mean, if I maximise e.g. a gnome terminal I could no longer see the prompt as it is hidden behind the Application bar. [20:31] hello everyone ! I'm trying to get help on my Ubuntu 11.04 installation. I used Wubi and now, when I reboot my PC, the dual-boot doesn't appear ... Does anyone know why ? [20:31] Anyone able to help? =| [20:31] flametai1: oh damn, i'm sorry, that could be pretty serious, because dpkg is the program that installs other programs in the first place, so if you interrupt that, you might end up not being able to install anything anymore :\ [20:31] LjL SOUNDS AWESOME [20:31] xD [20:31] nomike: ah, i see. i don't know then, hasn't happened to me [20:31] flametai1: how long has it been stuck? [20:31] LjL, thx [20:32] YAY!!!!!!! [20:32] LjL: I left the update manager running when I left for work at 10am came back at 2:30pm and it's stuck o-o had about a 328mb download for updates sooooooooo [20:33] flametai1: hm. pastebin the output of "ps aux" please (but make sure there aren't any private information in that before you pastebin it) [20:33] Who[ares: try a real install, not wubi [20:33] flametai1: do update again- it will continue from where it left [20:33] Is CD ISO image basically, files stored in CD + MBR information? [20:33] Kangarooo: not while it's installing something, no [20:33] hey, I just installed the 10.04 LTS version of Ubuntu and I can't hear any sound when it boots up/off, when I play music, YouTube, videos, etc. I was wondering if anyone knew how to correct this. [20:33] Hey guys, i accidentally overwrote Alsa/pulseaudio by installing ossv4. Can someone tell me how to reinstall alsa/pulseaudio? [20:33] Kangarooo: especially not while it's installing dpkg [20:34] LjL if its downloading then it isn't installing [20:34] Is there any video player under linux which can display the video as wallpaper ? [20:34] Kangarooo: "unpacking" means it has long finished downloading [20:35] LjL so then you finished it then why you say update stuck on downloading. [20:35] Sent you the paste in a pm lol. [20:35] xangua: with the partitionning and everything ? [20:35] Kangarooo: please read the whole discussion [20:35] john_rambo there may be something with compiz to some respects [20:35] Kangarooo, I never said it was stuck on downloading. lol. [20:35] nikitis: reinstall ubuntu-resktop metapackage === yofel_ is now known as yofel [20:35] Kangarooo: stuck on unpackaging dpkg [20:36] 328mb is downloading and stuck that's what LjL said [20:36] dear peeps, dear peeps, dear peeps [20:36] i need your help. === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler [20:36] Kangarooo: 1) flametai1 is who said that, not me 2) they said "and it's stuck. HAD about a 328mb download". [20:37] Well, not help really, but advice. My machine just rebooted, and i'm in a steady state with basicly nothing started [20:37] I'm gonna start all my processes in screen sessions, and i thought it would be fun to be able to somehow see what stress that puts on my poor machine [20:37] xangua, how do I go about doing that? [20:37] But i dont know what to look at. Something similar to pressing ctrlaltdelete on a Windows machine and looking at the processor load or so [20:38] jakedesnake: "top" in a terminal, or (i think) Ctrl+Esc in GNOME [20:38] LjL: its a headless machine... but is top a good way of seeing how if changes over time, so to speak? [20:38] I'm not hearing sound on anything, or at all. how do I fix this? [20:39] xangua, i installed ossv4 cause WINE needed it to compile. But i had no idea it would overwrite alsa/pulseaudio [20:40] hello, I have removed the mpd.conf file from /etc/ under ubuntu, and now can't uninstall/reinstall it [20:40] I have a read-only filesystem, how would one go about fixing it [20:40] how can I fix this plz ?

[20:44] lethu: it's just a config file, but apparantly apt-get misses it; create an empty file named /etc/mpd.conf and try again [20:45] Gello m8s anyone having issues on printing in 11.04? it is always printing above top margin (actualy it missis a bit), and on 10.10 is ok. [20:45] flametai1: you're still stuck with the hanging dpkg process? [20:45] Hi, I have a strange problem, date displayed in the notification area is UTC and the commands 'date' and 'date -u' display the same output although TZ is set! [20:45] eb3ha4el: Have you tried Bombono DVD? [20:45] oCean, Indeed. LOL [20:45] flametai1: is your system maybe under heavy i/o load (or was?) [20:45] hi [20:45] lethu: sudo touch /etc/mpd.conf [20:45] BPower: the only "NameVirtualHost" I have is in /etc/apache2/ports.conf, and it's "NameVirtualHost *:80" [20:46] jakedesnake: not quite no, as it only shows things in real time. there are certainly things that show CPU utilization and stuff over time, but i'm personally not aware of ones that work from the terminal... [20:46] cheapie: no, I'm using Nero at the moment on windows [20:46] VCoolio, I have tried that and now I get "* /etc/mpd.conf must have pid_file set; cannot stop daemon." when I try removing it and it exits with error [20:46] oCean: Maybe, I was running a Minecraft Server at the time, but i didn't think it would effect it much? [20:46] eb3ha4el: There should be a video DVD option somewhere. [20:46] tsimpson, i tried without it to no avail. [20:47] flametai1: well, there are bugs (such as 624877) that are possibly related, pointing in that direction [20:47] tsimpson, btw, I have the same too [20:47] BPower: but you have one in your vhost file too, from the paste [20:47] LjL: right. thanks anyhow. i was gonna ask in #linux but you gotta be regged, and this is only a temporary user since my real user is the one thats gonna be started along with those processes in this test..... [20:47] oCean, Should I just take a gamble and kill it and hope it doesn't mess up? xD [20:48] flametai1: I don't think it can be killed. The process is probably in Ds state? [20:48] cheapie: quite strange... is there any difference in burning ISO image and any other types of file? I thought burning is really just a process of writing MBR [20:48] if you do "ps -ef | grep mpd" does it mention a config file? [20:48] tsimpson, yes, i tried without the one in my vhost file first and it didn't work. I added it to see if it'd work then but it doesn't. [20:48] lethu: ^ [20:48] oCean, Unsure what that means but there's always the power button. <.<|| [20:49] eb3ha4el: Burning a disc is writing all the data on the disc.

[20:50] flametai1: what you can try at least, is running the sync command in separate terminal [20:50] BPower: oh, all my VirtualHost sections are "", no hosts [20:50] LjL: it's uninterruptable sleep, mostly caused by wait for i/o [20:50] lethu: so mpd is not running? try to add a line like this in /etc/mpd.conf: pid_file "/tmp/mpd.pid" [20:50] VCoolio, ok let me try [20:51] i plugged in my external hard driver, i can see it from "System:/media" and from "/media" but when i try to "cd /media" i get root@bt:/media# cd part 2 yassine [20:51] bash: cd: part: No such file or direct [20:51] lethu: it seems it should be like this: pid_file "/var/run/mpd/pid" [20:51] oCean, I have no clue how to do the sync command <.< I only know basic stuff like sudo and natilus <.< lol..

[20:52] flametai1: open new terminal and type sync [20:52] iceroot, flametai1: (search for MACscr) [20:52] VCoolio, it worked, thank you lots :) [20:52] * cheapie is available [20:52] hmm nothing useful said there though, i think [20:52] is there a way to monitor how much video memory i am using?

[20:53] i plugged in my external hard driver, i can see it from "System:/media" and from "/media" but when i try to "cd /media" i get root@bt:/media# cd part 2 yassine [20:53]  bash: cd: part: No such file or direct [20:54] yassine_hell: Did you try quoting the spaces? [20:54] oCean: he has a few remote mounts. i'm thinking maybe he's NFS'ing something important ;) though not really sure from the ps output [20:54] metroid: I have no idea if any drivers support it or not, I just know it would be down to the driver to support it if such a feature exists [20:54] lethu: with this config mpd won't work btw, so reinstall and create a proper config; have fun, mpd is the best [20:54] yassine_hell: ls and #backtrack-linux [20:54] cheapie : what do u mean? [20:54] shcherbak : lol ? [20:54] Azelphur: oh, ok. thanks [20:54] flametai1: that is what other users reported in the bugreports. Sync can take a long time to complete, depending on what diskactivity happened before [20:54] ??? [20:55] hey all where can i get a crc for ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso [20:55] yassine_hell: Like "part\ 2\ yassine" instead of "part 2 yassine". [20:55] VCoolio, thanks, yeah I have removed/purged it, now I am doing a new install [20:55] yassine_hell:Insted of "cd" type "ls" without the quotes. [20:55] oCean, So I should leave it running? [20:55] root@bt:/media# ls [20:55] cdrom cdrom0 part 2 yassine windows [20:55] LjL: if the process tries to access anything on the NFS filesystems, then that can be the cause of failed sync, and thus of failed dpkg process [20:55] I am using a radeon card with the opensource driver --is there a way to monitor how much vram is being used? [20:55] how do I force a fsck on restart? [20:55] yassine_hell: cd par [20:55] yassine_hell: So is "part 2 yassine" one folder? [20:55] cheapie: omg thx so much ! [20:55] flametai1: for now, that's the best I can suggest, but not really happy since it does not sound like a solution :( [20:56] yea :D done im in ! === damian is now known as creativetux [20:56] yassine_hell: The "backslash trick" (quoting) works for all special characters (I think). === creativetux is now known as damian [20:57] cheapie : lol space is a special character? :) thx u again [20:57] oCean, Just appreciate the help =] And yes I have a NFS 2TB hooked up but I wasn't doing anything at the time considering I was at work. But my girlfriend may have watch Anime off of it would that have effected it? [20:57] <[deXter]> Hi all, is http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/InRelease working for you? [20:57] yassine_hell: It interprets it as an argument separator. [20:57] hey all where can i get a crc for ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso [20:58] Hello all... I'm new here and I have a question about Ubuntu 11_4 and vsftpd... Shall I ask away? [20:58] yassine_hell: Cd was seeing "Argument 1='part' Argument 2='2' Argument 3='yassine'". With the backslashes, it tells it that you want "Arugment 1='part 2 yassine'". [20:58] flametai1: it should not. Can you pastebin the output of the following command? ls -al /proc/5749/fd (this will show files related to that process) [20:58] Waynegrow: Don't ask to ask, just ask. [20:59] cheapie : ahh it make sense .. [20:59] chepie : i should rename it .. [20:59] yassine_hell: Is that all or do you need more help?

[21:04] <[deXter]> cheapie, Is http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/InRelease working for you? [21:04] Could someone help me figure out why when I launch geany that it will seg fault as a normal user, but I can run it OK with sudo? [21:04] [deXter]: It returns a 404. [21:04] <[deXter]> cheapie, I'm unable to use apt-get (today) because of that. [21:04] [deXter]: I can help with that. Please wait a second... [21:04] [deXter]: I'm having an issue here as well. [21:05] <[deXter]> Pici, Thanks for confirming. [21:06] flametai1: I'm sorry mate, at this point I don't have a clue how to resolve. The sync command is still hanging? [21:06] hola, soy nuevo en Ubuntu, Alguien puede ayudarme en Español? [21:06] [deXter]: To make apt-get use an alternate mirror, open /etc/apt/sources.list in your favorite editor and replace all references to us.archive.ubuntu.com (or whatever official mirror you're using) with http://ubuntu.cs.utah.edu/ubuntu/. [21:06] oCean, Indeed. Perhaps I'll just take the gamble? LOL I have a boot cd so maybe if dpkg goes wrong maybe I can use the boot cd to fix it?

[21:08] why would it be that commercial flagging works fine but transcoding doesn't? [21:08] [deXter]: If you put your sources.list on pastebin I can fix it for you. [21:08] flametai1: it sounds a little scary to me, now to reboot. You can retry your question later, and wait for that a bit. That's your choice (no promises) [21:09] I invoke transcoding myself instead of letting it happen automagically. [21:09] <[deXter]> cheapie, Thanks, but I'm doing it right now, will let you know in a sec if it's working or not. [21:09] ./configure to work [21:09] and I keep gettting Autodetect (exit status 136, job status was "Running") [21:09] [deXter]: OK. I can wait...

[21:09] hi [21:10] <[deXter]> cheapie, Now my only doubt is why didn't canonical make a script or something so it'll automatically use a different mirror.. [21:10] can anyone explain to me in "linux-noobish" language to change some stuff [21:10] something is wrong with my Wifi USB Stick ;p [21:10] loaded build-essential, automake and checkinstall [21:11] [deXter]: Mine changes automatically for some reason. If you want, you can use apt-pinning to make that yourself. [21:11] <[deXter]> O.o [21:11] [deXter] Or, you can just put both in your sources.list. It's also faster that way. [21:11] <[deXter]> cheapie, command not found. [21:11] [deXter]: What command? [21:11] <[deXter]> cheapie, apt-pinning [21:12] [deXter]: That's not a command. [21:12] <[deXter]> cheapie, Oh, how do I use it then? [21:12] hi... i'm not getting any sound to my ubuntu... [21:12] ./configure command not found when installing tar-biz2 app [21:12] [deXter]: It will work fine if you just put both mirrors in your sources.list. [21:12] i'm using ubuntu 11.04 [21:12] i have a hard drive with windows on it that i would like to move somewhere else so i can use the hard drive for linux --how would i transfer all the contents?

[21:13] use Norton Ghost , make an image somewhere :) [21:13] just make a bootable Ghost CD :) [21:13] [deXter]: It will use whatever has the latest version, and often download from both sources at once to make the downloading faster. [21:13] <[deXter]> Mjuksel, There's no need for Norton Ghost.. Clonezilla works just fine. [21:13] so i would have to boot into the windows drive? is Norton Ghost a free program? [21:13] <[deXter]> cheapie, Oh, that's awesome, I didn't know it could do that! [21:14] hello all [21:14] [deXter]: It'll just make apt-get update take a little longer.

[21:14] <[deXter]> cheapie, Actually you're right though my apt-get update is still updating since we started this conversation.. [21:15] okay sorry :) [21:15] [deXter]: Whoops, meant to say both mirrors. [21:15] i only used Ghost :) [21:15] Damn cheapie I thought I should at least say hello, you know being polite and all that [21:15] :P [21:15] metroid: no need for norton ghost, as pointed out above [21:15] btw, can anyone explain in normal language what COULD be wrong with my USB Wifi Stick? [21:15] it worked out the box [21:15] but i get slooooooow speeds on it [21:15] sec_goat: Usually we say "Hello, I'm having a problem with blah blah blah...". [21:15] Hi all. Since the update to 11.04, I have been having major issues with flash. I'm on an HP Pav dv7, intel i7 core, ATI mobility radeon graphics. I've tried: Using ubuntu 32 bit and 64 bit, Chrome and Firefox, nonfree and free flash plugins, and unity and classic gnome, and all permutations possible. After about 1 minute, processing % from the flash plugin goes to 100%-200%, and the video gets so choppy its unwatchable. Has anyone else encountered this? [21:15] !enter | Mjuksel [21:15] Mjuksel: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:16] gunbert, i am looking into clonezilla right now! [21:16] I've also tried switching between compiz and metacity, also making no difference. [21:16] Mjuksel: have you set proper DNS's? [21:16] Cheapie I know, I know I'm getting to it . [21:16] yes Galvatron :) [21:16] gsr: Is flash up to date? [21:16] cheapie: yup [21:17] ive set a static IP address, the Subnet, Gateway AND both DNS´s [21:17] <[deXter]> gsr, That is odd; have you tried the Flash square plugin when you were on Ubuntu 64bit? [21:17] gsr: Have you tried any of the alternatives to Flash? [21:17] does ubuntu need the routers ip address at DNS too ? [21:17] is there a way to scroll up through terminal output when in text only mode? [21:17] [deXter], I don't think so, just the free and non-free versions [21:17] cheapie, yes, every flash plugin thats in the repositories (canonical and universal) [21:17] OK code revision programs such as subverison and git. is there something simpler that either? I was unable to get subversion to work at all and I ma having a hard time wrapping my head around git. Just looking for suggestions, thanks! [21:17] <[deXter]> gsr, Try this: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/09/adobe-flash-player-square-102-64bit.html [21:17] gsr: Yeah, that is strange... IDK what's wrong. === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler [21:18] <[deXter]> gsr, Works fine for me on my ATI Radeon laptop. [21:18] <[deXter]> gsr, Also, have you installed the proprietary ATI drivers yet? [21:18] [deXter], I'm using the 32bit version now, is square available for 32 bit OSes? [21:19] <[deXter]> gsr, Nah square is meant for 64 bit only. [21:19] sec_goat: I've heard about some "cvs" thing, and there's also Bazaar. [21:19] [deXter], yes, currently using the most up to date proprietaries [21:19] cool cheapie I will check it out, thanks [21:20] LOL i get 0.30mbps, i get 42mbps on windows :/ [21:20] <[deXter]> Mjuksel, Perhaps you could try ndiswrapper. [21:21] yeah someone said that to me yesterday but i dont understand.. can some explain in private maybe ? [21:21] hi there [21:21] you perhaps [deXter] ? [21:21] Here's an weird question. I use a closed-source IDE (Komodo) for my PHP work and it has a killer feature (YMMV) in that you can select a function name and it will jumpt to/open the file where the function is. Exceedingly useful in debugging. I'm considering trying to fix a 3+ year-old bug in eog, and I was wondering if any of you guys knew if any of the C/C++ IDE's in the repos had that feature or something similar. I don't know what [21:21] the "official" name for it is, so research has been rather unenlightening. [21:21] <[deXter]> Mjuksel, It's all explained here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [21:21] !ndiswrapper | Mjuksel [21:21] Mjuksel: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:21] buttons1: does work four you? [21:21] ok thx, ill take a look.. [21:22] does anybody know where i can download a good game in linux? [21:22] [deXter], thanks for the advice.

I haven't found a way, yet. [21:24] Wow...10 updates per hour. Oneiric sure is moving fast...

Boot from a 11.04 live CD and confirm and if you can do the same from a different live CD like knoppix or 10.08 [21:39] Will I regret installing a full KDE desktop on Ubuntu 10.04? [21:40] <[deXter]> Ontolog, Yes. [21:40] [deXter]: aww :( [21:40] preecher, that same password should work for unetbootin. How did you install unetbootin?

[22:54] scensis, you dont. it's an archive, much like a zip file [22:54] scensis: tar.gz is just a way of compression [22:54] after start up i can click docky and it starts just fine.. so.

[23:02] <[deXter]> scensis, If you don't like that then you can always run utorrent for windows in Wine; or you can use a native client like Transmission which works just fine [23:03] is there anyway to download software for ubuntu like we do have a setup.exe for windows? [23:04] deXter: Ok, so it's impossible to use utorrent as i did in windows on ubuntu? [23:04] bluefire: it doesn't work the same, [23:04] You use the ubuntu software center, synaptic, or apt-get. [23:04] hey all im trying to get ubuntu's desktop effects to work but i cant find where the settings for this are in 11.04??? can anyone advise? [23:04] use qtorrent. it is a linux alternative for utorrent [23:05] bluefire: Ok, i'll try that and Transmission ;) Thanks [23:05] hi there, Docky won't run upon start up.

[23:40] juniour, use the recovery but at the gui choose the faisafe x boot. [23:40] ziikutv: Then it's the Windows boot manager that you need to configure differently.

[23:50] Question, I need to install Ubuntu on Dual Boot on a machine with Windows 7 and no CD drive. The machine already has a 50gb partition that's free to use for Ubuntu. As I couldn't figure out a way to format ext3 through windows 7 in order to install ubuntu I'm following the steps to boot with the ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso and Linux Live USB Creator. I was just about to free up a 10 gb or [23:51] I was just about to free up a 10 gb or so partition in the HDD for this purpose. Is it going to work? Am I missing something? Am I doing something terribly wrong? [23:51] Could someone give me a little help fixing my unity dash on natty? I'm not able to use the search engine anymore ... :/ [23:51] Thanks both of you [23:52] does anyone know the keyboard commands for print screen shot in ubuntu 11.04 [23:52] Daditos: so you already have a 50gb partition for ubuntu to use, and you want to free up 10 more? [23:52] geeksmith: Can you give me that link of the thread about the broadcom drivers ? [23:52] no, in order to install ubuntu, as I have no CD Drive, I need to boot it from a USB hdd [23:53] so I'm going to create a partition in that drive [23:54] Daditos: Rather that saying "that drive" it would be more clear if you reffered to the USB drive as "the USB drive" (if that indeed is what you are trying to reffer to). [23:54] hey i am getting white screen while starting ubuntu [23:54] yes, sorry for any confusion... It's a 500 gb USB drive. [23:54] help please [23:54] Cairo dock won't launch Kopete or Conversation. Don't know why. I have the KDE integration packkage installed. [23:54] Daditos: i don't see why it wouldn't, but you probably only need 1gb or so [23:54] Have lots of people been in tonight asking about Empathy problems?
